Dear All,

Happy New year to you all.  I hope you had a restful holiday season. It 
was a pleasure working with you all in 2012  and look forward to 
continuing to do so in 2013.

Please find below a message from Under-Secretary-General Mr. Wu Hongbo 
concerning the MAG renewal. It is posted on the IGF website and I would 
be grateful if you could distribute it among your respective stakeholder 
groups.

Best regards

Chengetai

The Internet Governance Forum's Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) 
has been instrumental in planning the programme of the annual IGF meetings.

We would like to express our gratitude to all past and present members 
of MAG who have donated their time, effort and valuable guidance in 
ensuring the smooth running of the IGF.

On behalf of the United Nations Secretary-General, the Department of 
Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) requests nominations from all 
stakeholder groups, according to the established principles and 
practices of MAG on the rotation and selection of its members. 
Governments, the private sector, civil society, and technical 
communities should submit names of candidates from developed and 
developing countries as well as from economies in transition. Successful 
nominees will become part of MAG for a period of one year and will 
contribute to the multi-stakeholder consultation process, bringing the 
perspectives of their respective groups on Internet governance. Group 
nominees should be members who have actively participated in IGF 
meetings and activities in the past. As in previous years, stakeholder 
groups can resubmit the names of current MAG members for re-election and 
are expected to publicize the selection and nomination process.

Please submit the names of nominees to the IGF Secretariat by *20 
January 2013* via email:magrenewal2013 at intgovforum.org 
<mailto:magrenewal2012 at intgovforum.org>, using the attached submission 
template. The aim is to rotate one third of MAG members.

Selection and Operation Principles:

(i) MAG members are selected to achieve a balance among all stakeholder 
groups, while retaining regional and gender representation, according to 
established procedures;

(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 IGF;

(iv) MAG members are expected to attend two to three MAG meetings in 
Geneva, Switzerland, in addition to the annual IGF meeting. They should 
participate actively in the preparatory process throughout the year, 
through engagement in the online multilateral dialogue among MAG members;

(v) MAG meetings are open to Intergovernmental organizations.

Thank you and I look forward to the continued success of the Internet 
Governance Forum.


(Signed)
Wu Hongbo
Under-Secretary-General
Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA)
