Most confusing given a Nomcom recommendations were already sent to the secretariat and a report was published.

>> 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> <mailto: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.

>>
>> 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.
