[governance] From Geneva on 2013 MAG selection process

[michael gurstein]

Tom,

 

:). 

 

"NY" is intra-UN lingo for UN-HQ, which, although uneasily, from time to
time, is based in NY-C. :) - from whence of course, come the decisions
concerning the composition of the MAG.

Here's an email from Chengetai Masango in Geneva about the state of the MAG
nominations.

Best,

Tom Lowenhaupt

P.S. Not sure why the reference to NY is there. Perhaps we're
underrepresented?

HI Thomas 

 

Civil Society is one of the stakeholder groups that are most up to date as
far as the rotation is concerned.

 

The majority seem to have been renewed during the last rotation.

 

I think if you send three or four names (to give NY a choice) that should be
more than enough.

 

Best regards 

 

Chengetai

I am the Chair of the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus Nominating
Committee charged with selecting names of IGC members to put forth for
selection to the 2013 MAG. Thirty five (35) IGC members have been nominated.
Our review and selection process would be aided if you would provide some
insight into the process you will be following in selecting 2013 MAG
members.

We have been advised that DESA might rotate 1/3 of the MAG's 55 members this
year, roughly 18 members. That those appointed to the MAG last year are more
than likely to remain, and that their reapplication at this point would be
unnecessary. 

It is expected that more than one civil society organization is likely to
provide DESA with MAG nominees. The IGC has over 30 applicants for what
looks to be a possible 18 vacant MAG seats. 

The IGC's Nominating Committee members are well aware of the credentials and
suitability of our nominees and in the best position to select the cream
from amongst them. This would provide DESA with a highly qualified group of
nominees from which to choose its MAG appointees. We are prepared to take
the difficult task of narrowing down the applicant pool from 35 as
appropriate. 

We would greatly appreciate your providing some guidance as to the number of
nominees from IGC that would most fruitfully meet the needs of DESA.

Sincerely,

 

Thomas Lowenhaupt, Non Voting Chair
Internet Governance Caucus Nominating Committee
