[governance] MAG 2014

[Ian Peter]

Yes, good to say many of our current members maintained, but the new members are a little disappointing (although I am personally pleased to see EU Pirate Party MP Amelia Andersdotter included) And thanks to Qusai for his long term involvement on our behalf which ended with this renewal.

But none of the new nominations from Best Bits, IGC, Diplo, and APC – all of whom nominated separately – were included. At the time, Sala and Norbert commenced a series of discussions with other  groups, aiming at getting together a common slate of candidates. That did not succeed within this timeframe, although there was some cross-endorsement. So various civil society groups nominated separately and the lack of a common set of candidates probably did not help.

Since then the groups have started to work together on nominations to other bodies, which I think is a step in the right direction. But that effort needs some substantial work, and some changes, if it is to go forward. But perhaps this might be an additional catalyst towards co-operative efforts.

  Dear Izumi and other fellows,


  Congratulations to you and other friends who are on board to Serve as MAG 2014.

  Thanks for sharing the statics analysis.
  I would also add more:
  18 members out of 55 are new. 
  With reference to the nominations of Bestbits, IGC Nomcom for the renewal of term is 100% accepted, while there we do not see any appreciation about the new candidates nominations of Bestbits, IGC Nomcom, APrIGF & Diplo Foundation.

  With Best Wishes,

  Sincerely,

  Imran Ahmed Shah
