[governance] Research Question on MAG Selection Process

[Puneeth Nagaraj]

*Apologies for cross-posting*

Dear All,

We at the Centre for Communication Governance are currently working on a
report analysing the role played by Indian stakeholders at international
internet governance institutions. One of the instituions we are studying is
the IGF MAG.

We are looking at the way in which the MAG selects its members and there is
very little publicly available information on this. The IGF website offers
the following on the criteria for selecting MAG members:

*Candidates are assessed based on a number of factors such as, but not
limited to: broadness of support, likely contribution, and knowledge and
expertise. In reference to the MAG composition, the final aim is to make
the MAG as representative as possible, reflecting diversity of viewpoints,
geography and gender balance, and knowledge of Internet Governance-related
issues. Experts in subject areas as well as apparent newbies are welcome as
part of IGF capacity building efforts.*


I was wondering if current/past MAG members on this list might be able to
help me with the criteria used by the DESA in selecting MAG members, or if
there are any internal processes used by the MAG to select members.

Any information on this would be a big help to our report.

Thanks,
Puneeth
