Hi Robert and all,

I raised the discussion about what is being currently debated in the WG on
IGF improvements regarding MAG. I probably should have responded to this
thread here, but it is under "selection of MAG-urgent".
You raised important points regarding the criteria of selection, Robert. I
believe that "experience on IG issues" and "active participation in the
IGF" are covered there, but I am not sure what you mean by multistakeholder
support. We are considering so far that MAG candidates should have "Extensive
linkages within one's own stakeholder group and, if possible, to other
stakeholder groups". Not sure if this covers what you pointed out.
