[bestbits] Update - CSCG nominations to the IGF MAG

[Sheetal Kumar]

Dear all,

We are writing to inform you of the outcome of the CSCG's process for
selecting candidates to nominate to the IGF MAG, in response to UNDESA's
public call for nominations
<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/announcement-from-mr-wu-hongbo-under-secretary-general-for-economic-and-social-affairs>.
This follows the email which was sent to bestbits on 06 December, to share
the call for candidates and detail the CSCG's process for sending civil
society rep nominations to the IGF Secretariat (candidates were evaluated
by a CSCG NomCom specifically created for this purpose).

The deadline for sending nominations to the CSCG Nomcom was 09 December and
from 09-16 December the NomCom deliberated. The non-voting chair of the
NomCom submitted the selected nominations to the IGF using the official IGF
nomination form available on the web on 16 December.

Under the dotted line below you will find the full list of nominations
received, the selection criteria and the outcome of the deliberations.

Should you have any questions about this, please do let Poncelet and I
know. Thanks!

Best,
Sheetal.

Civil Society Coordination Group is Mr Norbert Bollow, the secondary
nomination is Mr Jeremy Malcolm, and the tertiary nomination is Mr Arsene
Tungali.  That is, the order of priority of our nominations is (1) Bollow,
