[governance] Scoping the Work of the current MAG NomCom - was... Preliminary List of Nominees for the 2013 MAG - REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

Valeria,

You said:

    Dear Thomas,

    Just a brief note to inform you (and the rest of NomCom members)
    that I do not see my name included in the list. I have expressed my
    interest to continue serving in the MAG in 2013.

    Please find attached the nomination template.

    Best,

    Valeria Betancourt

Thank you for that question as it was one we had during the last MAG 
NomCom.

I do believe some clarity was recently added to the situation by Bill 
Drake - see below.

I'd say the NomCom's responsibility is to provide a set of names to IGF 
that they may use should they desire to rotate out existing members. As 
you are a current MAG members, you need not be concerned about the 
current NomCom activities.

I hope this answers you question satisfactorily.

Best,

Tom Lowenhaupt

Hi

Thanks for this, Thomas.  In light of the complexities of the 
discussions here around MAG rotation and names, and in the hope of 
reducing unnecessary cycles, I decided to make a local call to the IGF 
secretariat and ask for clarification of what DESA is looking for.

Bear in mind they are only looking to rotate out 1/3rd of the MAG, e.g. 
long-serving (and I would guess, comparatively inactive) members.  Not 
the people selected less than a year ago.  And that CS is just one of 
four SG groups among which this 1/3rd would be divided.  And that the 
IGC cannot claim to be the sole representative of global civil society.

Put all that together, and the recommendation was: come up with like 
five new names that are not already on the MAG.  Names on a smaller list 
have a higher probability of being viewed as strongly supported and 
eventually picked than names on a big long list.

The noncom's task will be easier if you skip adding steps DESA didn't 
ask for like re-certifying extant members, and work off a shorter list 
with new names…

Cheers,

Bill
