Wed Nov 13 23:36:07 EST 2013

Dear Ian,

This is an excerpt from what Adam sent the IGC in relation to the matter:

*Starts:*

*Text of Wu Hongbo's letter about renewal below.Current MAG members can
re-submit.Is a little unclear, does it mean they must re-submit, and if
they don't will be assumed not interested?AdamMAG Renewal 2014The Internet
Governance Forum's Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) has been
instrumental in planning the programme of the annual IGF meetings.We would
like to express our gratitude to all past and present members of MAG who
have donated their time, effort and valuable guidance in ensuring the
smooth running of the IGF.On behalf of the United Nations
Secretary-General, the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA)
requests nominations from all stakeholder groups, according to the
established principles and practices of MAG on the rotation and selection
of its members. Governments, the private sector, civil society, and
technical community should submit names of candidates from developed and
developing countries as well as from economies in transition. Successful
nominees will become part of MAG for a period of one year and will
contribute to the multi-stakeholder consultation process, bringing the
perspectives of their respective groups on Internet governance. Group
nominees should be members who have actively participated in IGF meetings
and activities in the past. As in previous years, stakeholder groups can
resubmit the names of current MAG members for re-election and are expected
to publicize the selection and nomination process.Please submit the names
of nominees to the IGF Secretariat by 1 December
2013 via email:magrenewal2014 at intgovforum.org
<email%3Amagrenewal2014 at intgovforum.org>, using the attached submission
template. The aim is to rotate one third of MAG members.Selection and
Operation Principles:(i) MAG members are selected to achieve a balance
among all stakeholder groups, while retaining regional and gender
representation, according to established procedures;(ii) All MAG members
serve in their personal capacity but are expected to have extensive
linkages with their respective stakeholder groups;(iii) The main task of
MAG is to provide advice on the programme and main themes of the next
meeting of the IGF;(iv) MAG members are expected to attend two to three MAG
meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, in addition to the annual IGF meeting.
They should participate actively in the preparatory process throughout the
year, through engagement in the online multilateral dialogue among MAG
members;(v) MAG meetings are open to Intergovernmental organizations.Thank
you and I look forward to the continued success of the Internet Governance
Forum.*

*Ends*
