Great nominations. Both Avri and Lea will be excellent.
I assume that this discussion on the list will help the Steering
Committee come up with names to give to the Civil Society Steering Group?
But Best Bits should also make sure to have some strong names from
'developing' countries. Also, keep in mind that people nominated from
developed countries would need to have access to funding to attend
meetings of the MAG. Support for MAG meetings is not easy to get and is
generally only available for people from developing countries. In my
time on the MAG from 2012 to 2014 I think I only received UN support to
attend a MAG meeting on 2 occasions and on one of those the funding did
not include airfare.
