Yes, I strongly agree that civil society MAG members are currently under represented, and will continue to be until those civil society slots in the MAGs are being filled out. This is something we have been working on. I will report about any advance we can do on this regards.

>>> You mentioned there had been a letter from Mr. Sha, "extending an invitation to all present MAG members to continue their work until the conclusion of the 2011 IGF meeting in Nairobi."  But it doesn't seem extend the MAG's function beyond Nairobi, which is September. And Mr Sha hasn't replaced members who have left, quite a number from civil society. Even if there was a MAG in November, it would probably be lacking in civil society members so you guys remaining would be at a disadvantage (again) in discussions.
