I think our position is quite clear in our statement on MAG rotation
developed for Feb 08 consultations of MAG (enclosed)

To quote

"We agree that the organizations having an important role in Internet
administration and the development of Internet-related technical standards
should continue to be represented in the MAG. However, their representation
should not be at the expense of civil society participation."

Though the term 'technical community', which is the tern used by you, in the
context of a policy system needs interrogation, but that I will attempt
separately.
