[governance] Advisory Group appointment

[Jeremy Malcolm]

Adam, would it be possible for you to raise on the Advisory Group 
mailing list (which I can't post to, because it's closed) the proposal 
that from now on it be appointed by an open and multi-stakeholder 
nominations committee (as delegates of the Secretary-General)?

The nominations committee would still have to consider the same criteria 
that the Secretariat does now - geographic and gender balance, and so 
on.  I was speaking to Markus about this last night, and although he 
dismissed it at first, after he mulled it over he conceded it would be 
possible.

I think for this issue to be fed to the Advisory Group and for it to 
consider it and respond might help abate the concerns of those who are 
worried about its transparency and accountability to the stakeholders 
(though opening the mailing list would help more with the former).
