[bestbits] IGF MAG 2015 members announced

[Ginger Paque]

Hi everyone,
As a new CS member of the MAG, I hope you will all be vocal in letting
me/us know what positions we should emphasise for IGF2015, in particular
for attending the issues of highest importance for LAC. I/we count on your
input and expertise. I like Carolina's idea of a hangout or other meeting
to discuss priorities and strategies before the December open consultations
and MAG meeting.
Cheers,
Ginger
