Hi
Here is a call for nominations to the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) of
the Internet Governance Forum, which will be constituted in the next few months
before its first meeting in Greece later this year.
The Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) randomly selected a
nominating committee that will process the nominations to a manageable number to
submit to the WSIS Secretariat. Below are the guidelines for nominating
someone...
(Please note that the group will strive to balance geographical representation,
and at least 2 Asians may be considered for the final list.)
You may want to nominate someone, who obviously should be knowledgeable and
articulate in Internet Governance, plus possessing some of the criteria below.

Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] IGC nominating committee for IGF MAG candidates
> Hi,
>
> As mentioned in an earlier note, the IGC was setting up a nomcom to
> develop a list of candidates for the IGF-MAG. As planned, a random
> procedure was used, and the members of this nomcom have been selected:
>
> Voting members
> Magaly Pazello
> Rainer Kuhlen
> Bret Faucett
> Karen Banks
> Richard Draves
>
> Non voting chair: Avri Doria
>
> We had 34 volunteers in the drawing. One of the rules we are
> operating under is that none of the members of the nomcom can be
> selected by the nomcom as IGC candidates for the IGF-MAG.
>
> We will be working over the next 2 weeks to produce a list of
> candidates.
>
> The basic criteria we are using are:
>
> - All candidates must be CS participants in the WSIS and post-WSIS
> activities
> - 2 candidates from each of the 5 regions with gender balance
> - 5 additional to balance for skill/knowledge set, age, disability, ...
>
> - Additionally
> - anyone can nominate, including members of the nomcom.
> - self nominations are invited
>
> At a minimum, all nominations and self nominations should consist of
> the following:
>
> - Name
> - Name of nominator (or self)
> - Nationality
> - Country of Residence
> - Gender
> - Short Bio relevant to IG
> - Why the (self)nominee is a good choice for the MAG
>
> It would also be useful to indicate that the (self) nominee
> has the ability to handle the additional workload. While the work load
> is uncertain, it will probably involve 1-2 several day meetings in
> Geneva (one os already scheduled in May) and a fair amount of email
> traffic. If the WGIG workload is any indication, there may be times,
> especially as the Athens meeting approaches where this could consume
> at least a day a week.
>
> All nominations statements should be sent to : IGC-nomcom@wsis-cs.org
> before
> 10 April.
>
> We request that either nominator or the nominee, collect all the info
> into a single
> email. Also, if the nomination is not a self-nomination, then the
> nominator should check with the nominated to ensure that she or he is
> willing to
> serve.
>
> Note: the statements don't need to be long.
> The list of candidates must be sent to the IGF secretariat by the
> 18th of April
> and will be announced on this list at that time.
