Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG): Call for nominations for civil
society representatives for the Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) to
the Internet Governance Forum (IGF)

Dear Colleagues,
See below for the details of the call.
Please remember that we are working inside a very tight timeframe.
Nominations MUST reach rhill at hill-a.ch by the end of the day on Friday 9th
December (next Friday).
Thank you
Deirdre

Call for Candidates - deadline 9 December
=========================================

As part of the process of the annual renewal of IGF MAG, we are seeking
candidates from civil society.  Candidatures will be evaluated by a CSCG
NomCom specifically created for this purpose.  The non-voting chair of the
NomCom will submit the selected nominations to the IGF using the official
IGF nomination form available on the web.  One civil society representative
to MAG is leaving due to term limit, but there is no fixed number of civil
society representatives, so there might be zero, or more than one, new civil
society representatives in the next MAG.

The timeline for the process is:

3 December: each coalition will issue its own call for candidates,
specifying that nominations should be sent to rhill at hill-a.ch  . CSCG
members will circulate the call as widely as possible, to encourage
participation from all sectors of civil society. Deadline for nominations is
9 December.

10-12 December: establish short-list

12-15 December: select candidates

16 December: submit candidates to IGF Secretariat

The selection criteria that the NomCom will use are shown below.

Selection criteria
------------------

Candidates should have extensive linkages with civil society groups.

Candidates must have the ability to represent civil society as a whole,
rather than any one particular group.

Candidates must be able to provide advice on the programme and main themes
of the next meeting of the IGF.

Candidates must be able attend, in person or remotely, 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.

Process

The list of current members is at:

 https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/mag-2016-membership

One civil society representative cannot stay on, because she has served for
three terms:

. Ms. Andersdotter Amelia  (Civil Society, 3 terms)
   Orsundsbro, Sweden - Membership, Pirate Party

For convenience, you will find at the end of this message the list of the
civil society representatives who served fewer than three terms and who
therefore would be expected to continue to be on the MAG.

The rules of procedure for our nominations are at:

We are now at step 7: call for candidates.

The non-voting chair of the NomCom is Richard Hill.

The voting members of the NomCom are:

David Cake
Chat Garcia Ramilo
Poncelet Ileleji
Parminder Jeet Singh
Deirdre Williams

Once the candidates are selected by the NomCom, the non-voting chair will

candidates, using the information provided by the candidates.
