[bestbits] IGF MAG 2015 members announced

[Lorena Jaume-Palasi]

congratulations to all who got elected! Good idea with the hangout!
I'd like to make a proposal with regard to the future composition of the
MAG. This year I feel really happy to see that one youth got elected into
the MAG: Bianca Ho. However I think youth had a rather ornamental position
within the IGF and needs a substantial backing of their role. This could be
achieved by establishing a youth category in the composition of future
MAGs. It would be great if we could discuss this and make it part ot the CS
agenda at the MAG.
Many thanks in advance and kind regards,
Lorena
