[governance] 2009 IGC Call for MAG Nominations

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Carlos, have a look at the IGF website. It is quite clear about the 
procedure:

*The principles and modalities of the MAG renewal are set out in the 
Summary Record of the MAG meeting on 27-28 February 2008.

*Please submit your proposals to the IGF Secretariat by 15 February 2009 
to allow for a timely renewal of the MAG.

The MAG meets about 2 weeks after the deadline for submissions.
