[bestbits] input from past MAG CS reps pls? Re: Short listing proposal of candidates to CSCG for MAG2016

[Ginger Paque]

I wish we had discussed this earlier - this is a great question. Here's my
quick answer after my first year on the MAG:

The MAG sometimes requires a lot of time and energy, and other times none.
The first year requires a lot of patience, as we learn the ropes,
particularly how to manage 'negotiating' within the UN procedures. It also
requires patience and mentoring from experienced members.

MAG members do have input, and are heard. Group work and strategies for
supporting each other are important, and we have CS members who are very
good at this. Candidates should be willing to learn, to adapt, and to work
in a group.

I would say that MAG members also need more input from our groups. Sooo...
that said, I guess we have to ask for more input, and you have to give more
too.

If anyone wants specific points or issues introduced, they should write a
contribution to the IGF right now, and then let the CS MAG members know
about it so we can work on it together, if appropriate.

Cheers, Ginger
