[governance] Fwd: [igf_members] Announcement by USG Mr. Sha Zukang on the MAG

I¹m trying to understand the implications of this for our Nomcom which looks
like having a busy time to get names in by January 31.

We should forward 10 names (or perhaps more?)

No more than 4 should be current members who we are nominating to stay on ­
or if we nominate more than 4 of the current members to stay on,  we should
expand our pool beyond 10 by that number to allow for a choice of 10, no
more than 4 of whom are current members?

Ian
