I remember a comment that the rotation would be about one third of the MAG each year. But I don't think there's any formal confirmation of that anywhere (perhaps is a MAG meeting note?) 

My maths appalling.  Does that mean those appointed in 2011 would now be rotating out?

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.

We would like to urge those of you who are still double minded, to sieze the moment and take advantage of the remaining 7 hours to put forward a name for the list of IGC MAG Nominees. For those nominating, please get the consent of those you are nominating to ensure a seamless process.
