AW: [governance] MAG interim chair question (was Re: Preliminary List of Nominees...)

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

If I recollect correctly there was a proposal to ask Peter Major, the chair of the UNCSTD IGF Improvement WG, to act as an Interim Chair until the Paris meeting but nothing was decided because it was an "informal" MAG meeting and only half of the MAG members were present. However there was a clear call for a solution along the lines "if the UN Secretary General does not act than the MAG itself - in a bottom up process - should take the initiative and elect an (Interim) chair itself".

What is the current state of things regarding this issue?

Is there now a de facto interim chair? Or a process to appoint one?

Greetings,
