[governance] Re: Feb 2012 Geneva meetings [Answers]

[William Drake]

Hi

I just spoke with Chengetai, who by the time you see this will have written to the MAG list.  

* No Exec. Coordinator (no money) or Special Advisor yet

* Open consultation and MAG meeting will be chaired by the host, the Vice Minister from Azerbaijan 

* No MAG rotation, the existing MAG remains in place for this meeting per Sha's letter.

* The IGF date will be announced next week, it's in November

So at the MAG meeting next week, able to speak for civil society would be

Mr. Al Shatti, Qusai
Mr. Bajwa, Fouad
Ms. Betancourt, Valeria
Ms. Hofmann, Jeanette
Ms. Park, Y. J.
Ms. Primo, Natasha
Ms. Rodriguez Pereda, Katitza 
Ms. Selaimen, Graciela

Sorry if I missed anyone in cutting and pasting from the IGF site.   It's a fair bet that not all of the above will be in attendance.  It would be helpful to know who from the current MAG will be here.  And on the assumption that we will not be fully represented, it might be sensible to ask the chair to allow observers to participate rather than sitting silently.  Or if he thinks that'd be inappropriate, for CS to be able to designate temporary alternates for its missing MAG members.

Best,

Bill

The other question is: Will Sha Zukang make this decision or will he leave this in the hands of the next Under Secretary Generel for Social and Economic Affairs. His terms ends in June 2012 and it is unclear whether he will continue. His relationship with Ban Kin Moon is not really a friendly one and after BKM was reelected as SG he will have his own ideas for his deputies. What does it mean? Be prepared for a continuation of an unclear situation which is not so bad (as long as the key players in the MAG drive the process) and it will strengthen the position of Chengetai (which is very good) .
