[governance] MAG Renewal

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Hi Sala,

the idea to coordinate civil society applications for the MAG has been 
discussed in previous years. The problem is that civil society around 
the world is much less organized than businesses. I don't see on what 
basis we could deny someone the right to put her name forward to the IGF 
secretariat. Neither bestbits nor the IG causus has any authority to 
monopolize the application process.
Support by IGC/bestbits processes is likely to increase chances to be 
selected. Isn't that good enough under given circumstances?
