Hi Deborah=20
I know just that is on the link too but the way I understood there will b=

egional and gender balance.
For any more questions, I'd advise asking Secretariat at igf at unog.ch
Best,

Hi everyone
Just to clarify and complement Sheetal's post, take a good look at the
MAG 2018 Renewal criteria
https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/mag-2018-renewal-0
I'd note this more importantly:
Regional Group Balance
Regional Group - Available seats for the MAG 2018 Renewal
Africa 3
Asia Pacific 0
Eastern Europe 7
GRULAC 3
WEOG 6
And
"Please note that these breakdowns are provided for general guidance
only, and that the overall composition depends on several
considerations including the nominations received, as well as the
final decision of the UN Secretary-General."

<DIV>The whole thing is, they want to pick a MAG that has gender, regional,=

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So in the final mix a lot comes into play and civil society will do be=

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For instance =E2=80=93 if, for instance, there is a lack of cand=

other stakeholder group nominations tended to be male dominated. (Conversel=
