Congratulations to all civil society colleagues who got selected, and a big thank you to all outgoing CS reps - we're counting on your knowledge and guidance to get us through this transitional period.

It is also unclear (to me, at least) who the civil society MAG members are at the moment, which makes it difficult to coordinate (or hold someone to account).

The first MAG meeting to welcome incoming members will take place in a few weeks (Dec 1-3) and the agenda is available here: http://tinyurl.com/ka2w5sp. If you have thoughts on what the priorities for those of us representing civil society at that meeting should be - please share them here.
