[governance] 2009 IGC Call for MAG Nominations

[Carlos Afonso]

People,

The current MAG will meet at the end of February, and one of the topics
is its own renewal. UN clearance has been given to the chair to start
this renewal, but rules have yet to be reviewed.

Markus has asked for suggestions on the renewal process, and suggested
that constituencies should start looking for names. But since details of
the rules are not yet in place, I think we do not need to rush and have
a list ready before the Feb. meeting. Indication of names might very
well depend on these rules.
