[Governance] IGF MAG 2025 nominations

[Deirdre Williams via Governance]

Dear All,
I'm currently rather removed from the world of discussions about Internet
Governance, but when I read Daniela's message I also thought about Valeria
and Anriette. When things move at speed what happened before is forgotten
about, but it's impossible to put up a building without a foundation - it
will just fall down or be bulldozed by the next idea leaving an empty space.
I am also aware of the effort Bruna has put in to keeping the IGC afloat
for several years, and would support her name too.
Best wishes
Deirdre

>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>> As you may have seen, the call for nominations to the IGF MAG for 2025 is
>> now out (see here
>> <https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/mag-2025-renewal>).
>>
>> As explained by DESA in the call, the MAG 2025 will be appointed through
>> an exceptional approach, seeking nominations from the MAG and WGIG alumni
>> pool rather than the traditional broad community nominations process. The
>> rationale for this exceptional approach is the need for a MAG with deep
>> understanding of the IGF and WSIS processes, gained through specific
>> experience in MAG and WGIG work, enabling them to strategically guide the
>> IGF toward the WSIS+20 and IGF+20 renewal processes, prepare the 20th
>> annual IGF meeting and strengthen the future MAG’s working modalities.
>>
>> In terms of the process (see here
>> <https://intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2025-mag-renewal-general-guidance>),
>> within the MAG and WGIG alumni pool, members will be invited to nominate up
>> to two candidates, from their cohort in terms of the year(s) they served
>> together, based on their valuable and constructive contributions to the
>> work of the MAG and the IGF. The deadline for such nominations is Thursday
>> 28 November.
>>
>> Given the critical role of the 2025 MAG, it will be key to have strong
>> civil society representatives on the cohort. From our side, we are
>> considering nominating either Lea Kaspar (GPD’s ED) or Maria Paz Canales
>> (GPD’s Head of Policy and Advocacy), and we would be happy to hear if
>> anyone else is seeking to be nominated or put forward other names.
>>
>> Thanks!
