[governance] From Geneva on 2013 MAG selection process

Wed Jan 16 17:34:32 EST 2013

my personal feeling is not to restrict the nomcom to a particular number. it doesnt matter if its a little larger than that, and in fact that might be useful when decisions are made across stakeholder groups as regards geographic and gender balance.

  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
