[governance] Reconstituting MAG

[Milton L Mueller]

I do support calling for reduction in the number. I do not recall any
real "opposition" to it, just people who think that it won't happen. We
certainly cannot claim that there is consensus on the number 40, since
the preponderance of opinion as far as I can see is against that large a
number. 

 

I also support those who warned you against getting involved in specific
numbers games and proportional quotas. It is enough to say that CS is
underrepresented.

Milton, Meryem, McKnight and others who have reservation on the number
40 - do you want the sentence 'We think that 40 is a good number for MAG
members' struck off. I  am unable to specifically call for reducing the
number since there seems to be considerable opposition to this.

 

Some members seemed in favor of putting some mathematics in the
statement to make a clear case for increased number for CS.  For this
reason I do have to go by the present number 40, in this part of the
statement. Meryem, you wanted me not to quote the number that can be
reserved for the International Internet orgs reps - but I have gone by
the number 6 which a few of us quoted, because that allows me to
complete the calculations for the asked for CS numbers. In any case this
number is clearly against a total of 40, so there can be no confusion
about how this number may be interpreted.
