*Subject:* [governance] URGENT - Nominations for the MAG
Fellow IGC List Members,
The IGC's Nominating Committee (nomcom) has begun its work selecting new
members for the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). Our work was
initiated by a letter from Under-Secretary-General Sha Zukang
requesting that we submit the names of potential candidates to the IGF
Secretariat by 31 January 2012. (See
letter<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/content/article/926-mag-renewal->
.)
We do apologise for the late start, but the year-end holidays did cause us
some difficulty in communicating. So we will do our best to get everything
sorted in a proper manner in good time.
The MAG's role is to assist the Secretary General in convening the Internet
Governance Forums <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/magabout/406-mag-2010>.
The Forums site provide an interactive, collaborative space where all
stakeholders can air their views and exchange idea.
The MAG comprises 56 Members from governments, the private sector and civil
society, including representatives from the academic and technical
communities. It holds meetings three times a year at the Palais des Nations
in Geneva and is preceded by open consultations meetings. A list of current
MAG members is found athttp://www.intgovforum.org/cms/magabout/406-mag-2010.
*Request For Nominations*
Please submit nominations – including self-nominations – from which we will
select those to be advanced as IGC's recommendations for MAG membership.
The recommended persons may or may not be IGC members. However, they should
have a civil society identity, and be in broad alignment with positions
both stated in our charter <http://www.igcaucus.org/charter>.
All members of MAG serve in their personal capacity, but are expected to
have extensive linkages with not only their respective stakeholder groups,
but also a wide range of other connections, such as region, gender, and
their local civil society.
Current MAG members are encouraged to re-apply, but in the interests of
diversity, we would like to limit to those who have already served 2
consecutive terms.
· In nominating someone else please obtain the person’s consent to
be on the MAG if selected, and to seek IGC’s endorsement for his/her
candidature.
· Each nomination should come with a brief bio. It should mention
with some clarity the activities and / or positions taken by the person in
the IG and information society arena.
· The person should be informed that the details submitted may be
published even if the nomination is unsuccessful.
· Please also include a brief write up of why the nominated person
will be a good CS/ IGC representative on the MAG.
· Those who are already on the MAG should also briefly mention how
they carried out their responsibilities in the last term(s), in advocating
and pushing IGC’s positions as well as the larger CS positions. We would
also like to hear what they have contributed, what they intend to
contribute and why they want to continue in the role. Their level and
manner of engagement with the IGC, and the wider CS constituencies, may
also be mentioned.
· Nominations should also include an assurance that those selected
for the MAG will maintain close engagement with CS constituencies,
including and especially the IGC. MAG selectees will be required to keep
both CS constituencies and the IGC informed about the MAG proceedings and
related matters, as well as present/ push their positions in the MAG.
Nominations must be sent to (Jacqueline
Morris<jam at jacquelinemorris.com><jam at jacquelinemorris.com> or to
the list* *) no later than midnight January 20, 2012 UTC.
· *It is recommended that nominees be members who have actively
participated in IGF meetings and activities in the past.*
Remember, we need your nominations by January 20.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline A. Morris
NomCom Chair

Dear All,

Zukang on the MAG.
The information has been posted on the IGF Website and I kindly ask that
you also disseminate the information amongst your respective stakeholder
groups.

*Announcement*
*
The Internet Governance Forum's Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) has
been instrumental in planning the programme of the annual meetings of the
IGF.
We would like to express our gratitude to all members of MAG, who have
donated their time, effort and valuable guidance in ensuring the smooth
running of the IGF.
In light of the established principles and practices of MAG on the rotation
and selection of its members, the United Nations Department of Economic and
Social Affairs (DESA), therefore, requests all stakeholder groups
–government, private sector, civil society, and technical and academic
communities- to submit names of candidates from developed and developing
countries, as well as from economies in transition, to be considered to
become part of MAG to contribute to the multistakeholder process
bringing the perspectives on Internet governance from their respective
group for a period of one year. It is recommended that group nominees be
members who have actively participated in IGF meetings and activities in
the past.*
*
Owing to the fact that the renewal process was not done in 2011, it is
suggested that two thirds of each group’s membership be renewed in 2012
along the guidelines provided in the table below. Please note that groups
can resubmit names of current MAG members’ for re-election.*

It would be appreciated if respective groups could submit the names of the
potential candidates to the IGF Secretariat by** 31 January 2012 **via
email: magrenewal2011 at intgovforum.org using the attached submission
template.*
*It should be noted that plans are underway to have the next Open
Consultation and MAG Meeting take place on 14 - 16 February 2011. In the
event that the renewed MAG is not on board by then, the current MAG will
convene at this time and the renewed MAG will convene in May.
*
*Accordingly to the established principles and practices,*
*(i) Members of MAG are selected to achieve balance among all stakeholder
groups, representing all regions and attaining gender equality;
(ii) All MAG members serve in their personal capacity, but are expected to
have extensive linkages with their respective stakeholder groups;
(iii) The main task of MAG is to provide advice on the programme and main
themes of the next meeting of the Internet Governance Forum;
(iv) MAG members are expected to attend two to three MAG meetings in
Geneva, Switzerland, in addition to the annual IGF meeting, as well as to
participate actively in the preparatory process throughout the year through
continuous engagement in the online multilateral dialogue among MAG members
in between such meetings.
(v) MAG meetings are open to Intergovernmental organizations to participate.
Thank you and I look forward to the continuous success of the Internet
Governance Forum.*
