[governance] Nomination for MAG - Michael Oghia

[Nadira Alaraj]

Dear CSCG Nomcom members
+1 to Ayden in nominating Michael Oghia

I would like to support the Nominations of Michael as candidate to the role
of the CS MAG representative.
Being with him on different MENA working groups like the MEAC ICANN
strategy working group one easily can tell his contributions are value
added through his knowledge and many other competences like writting
skills.  He also was among the five members who organized the successful
iGmena summit this summer, his social media expertise brought energy and
life to iGmena social media platforms.

He is dedicated, energetic, knowledgeable, and will bring the voice of
global young CS IG activists  and for sure he puts his volunteering efforts
before himself.

Best wishes,
Nadira Alaraj
ISOC Palestine

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,

Ayden Férdeline
