[governance] 2009 IGC Call for MAG Nominations

[carlos a. afonso]

I do not know either which rules will be discussed, Jeanette. The MAG
itself will decide. The point is the secretariat is asking for
suggestions on MAG renewal, and as I understood this is not just to send
a list of names.

Personally I have at least one question: how will the second 1/3
replacement proceed? Everyone will be in the same boat, or the entrants
chosen in the first 1/3 replacement will remain so we can ensure a
better rotation? I am sure people will have other questions.
