Congrats Lea. Maybe when you have more clear some of the next steps, we could also arrange a Hangout with the CS representatives to discuss some topics that might be relevant for all of us. C

Dear all,

As you may have heard by now, the UN has just issued a formal press release announcing the 2015 MAG membership: http://www.un.org/press/en/2014/pi2104.doc.htm

Thank you once again to the BestBits network for putting my name forward and to Ian Peter and the CSCG for the hard work they put in in coordinating civil society nominations. 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.

On a more pragmatic note, it would be useful to follow up with the IGF Secretariat to shed some light on why the CSCG recommendations were not fully taken on board. 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).

I'm still not fully sure how the whole thing works (we have been threatened with an induction process), but I plan to do my best to represent the views of the community as a civil society member. 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.

Looking forward to working with you all.

Best,


Lea Kaspar
