[governance] Update on Candidates for MAG Nominees

[Mawaki Chango]

I also noted that contradiction. Either you want CS to follow the template
set by private sector or you want to speak against it. Can't have it both
ways.
More generally, I think this line of reasoning is making the assumption
that only those who are, or have already been, on the MAG can be vocal,
influential or strategic (I guess when they have a track record being
such.) But that does not preclude that people who have not been on the MAG,
but are familiar enough or knowledgeable enough of the IG space or have
similar experiences, can be just as effective at that. It will be the work
of the NomCom to assess such things based on the background information
received. Let's not try to pre-empt the process.
Thanks,

Mawaki
p.s. I've seen on this list people urging for the need to bring in "new
blood," and then later on we say otherwise when we please. That's what
happens when we don't have principles to operate on (and sometimes just
reacting to what other stakeholders do.) That being said (and just to state
I agree on some part of this thinking, in the interest of balance), I fully
understand the need to keep on board in the incoming team one key member
from the outgoing team. This could be more than one if we really think
we're left with candidates who are not up to the task.
