[governance] [igf_members] MAG Renewal

[michael gurstein]

My congratulations to those chosen from all stakeholder groups to the MAG.

One observation however, based on a summary review of the list provided by
Bill--of the five individuals selected to the MAG to represent CS, all are
women and 4 of the 5 are from Latin America or the Caribbean.  

I'm assuming that the UN in its wisdom (appropriately) applied criteria to
ensure gender and regional balance; however, rather than applying these
criteria within each stakeholder group they appeared to apply these to the
MAG as a whole; which given significant longstanding gender and regional
biases in other of the stakeholder groups, evidently resulted in the rather
odd absence of representivity within CS including an absence of
representation from Africa, Europe and North America among other anomalies.
