I'd suggest to in addition make the request that they should make sure
to have a CS MAG member from the host country or a neighboring country.

IMO, the quality of CS participation at the Geneva IGF has suffered
from the lack of any CS person from Western Europe on the MAG.

To my best knowledge, the announcement is still missing. I also haven't
seen any announcement yet on when and where the next IGF will take
place.
