[governance] New MAG announced

Fri Apr 27 08:20:54 EDT 2012

And my congratulations as well, (including to Mwaki!)

On a related note, I've just come back from participation (as a researcher)
in the first formal meeting of the Open Government
<http://www.opengovpartnership.org/> Partnership (OGP). The OGP is another
and newer "multistakeholder partnership" but with some very key
differences--formal terms of membership (signing on to a declaration),
formal accountability (a prescribed review mechanism), and a formal status
for Civil Society as a "partner" with governments in the on-going process
(including with a CS representative as a co-Chair).

There are of course, differences in domains, desired outcomes and so on, but
the structure of the OGP is worth a look, if nothing else as concerning the
evolving (and emerging) role of CS in global multilateral governance
structures and thus perhaps worth a discussion by the IGC and some thoughts
as to CS/MAG orientation. (I've written a blogpost <http://wp.me/pJQl5-9f>
on the OGP that might also be of interest including some themes that link
back to some of my earlier interventions in this space ... 

Best,

M

I thank everyone who put their name forward for MAG nominations, and
supported this process.
Congrats to everyone who participated in any way, and good luck to the new
MAG.

I think I/we forget sometimes that our (the rest of us, who are not on the
MAG) responsibility does not end here. I hope we give the new MAG clear
input on what we want from them and from the IGF, here on the IGC list,
through the IGF consultations and website, and using all of the resources
that we have at our disposal. I know that I get caught up in other work, and
often do not make the time to do my part. I hope to do better this year.

Good luck and energy to all!
Cheers,
Ginger

A UN press release for the renewed MAG has been issued and is
available at : http://www.un.org/News/Press/
<http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2012/pi2025.doc.htm>
docs//2012/pi2025.doc.htm

So we have a significant rotation (33 of 56) although not quite two-thirds
(that would be 37).

Of the original members from 2006, nine remain. From that cohort we say
goodbye to Ayaz Bayramov, Daniel Dardailler, Bill Graham, Jeanette Hofmann,
Michael Katundu, George Papadatos and Emily Taylor.

Once again nine remain from the cohort of 2007 with nine retiring (I won't
list them all).

The biggest turnover is from the 2009 cohort, with only five remaining and
fifteen taking their leave.

(2008 and 2011 saw only very minor changes).
