>> Greetings, all-
>>
>> I would like the CSCG to consider nominating *Michael Oghia* to serve on
>> the MAG.
>>
>> I see Michael as a bridge between stakeholder groups and regions, as he
>> represents:
>>
>>    - Developed nations (having been born and raised in the United
>>    States);
>>    - MENA region (because he is Lebanese, works with iGmena, and does
>>    considerable work in the region);
>>    - Europe (he currently lives in Serbia and travels frequently within
>>    the region);
>>    - Youth (he is 28); and
>>    - Civil society.
>>
>> He is already heavily involved in IGF processes, such as the IXP and IPv6
>> Best Practice Forums, has spearheaded work within Dynamic Coalitions (DC),
>> such as the DC on Core Internet Values and the DC on the Internet and
>> Climate Change, and has been involved in national and regional IGF
>> initiatives, such as the Southeastern European Dialogue on Internet
>> Governance (SEEDIG) and the European Dialogue on Internet Governance
>> (EuroDIG).
>>
>> He has also been an Internet Society Ambassador to the IGF twice, is an
>> active member of the Youth Coalition on Internet Governance, was a fellow
>> earlier this year at the New Media Summer School, and he advocates for more
>> youth involvement in the field both through his writing and at relevant
>> events.
>>
>> Finally, I know Michael and he has the positive energy and collaborative
>> spirit that the MAG needs to get work done. He has a quick mind, the
>> ability to draw connections others don't see, and the ability to draw out
>> the talents of others. He is always listening and motivating others with
>> intelligent, constructive feedback. I can't imagine anyone I'd want to work
>> with more in the Internet governance space.
>>
>> Best wishes,
