<font size="+1">You did a great job on the MAG and you will be
missed. I also plan to step down this year but will try to attend
open consultations and contribute on a voluntary basis to
organising the IGF.<br>
<br>
We need new people and we need people that will really commit to
work. Civil society is such a small presence on the MAG that we
just cannot afford having people that are not able to maintain an
active presence throughout the process.<br>

Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For anyone who is interested, the transcripts <a

and videos <a moz-do-not-send="true"

of the workshops organized by NCUC and its members are now
online. The secretariat did not link these from the Sched pages
reference below (which I’ve raised with them), so you’d have to
follow the links from the just mentioned old MAG list of
approved workshops.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two related notes: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*The little multi-author project I edited that was released
on Day 0 (see bottom) is being reformatted for publication by
the USC Press as a proper e-book, will let you know when
available.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*I have now served for three years on the IGF’s
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) and want to rotate off in
the next cycle. Nominations for the next MAG are open until 20
October <a moz-do-not-send="true"

It’d be great if some members threw their hat in the ring for
collective endorsement, which I suppose should be done at the SG
level. And if they also got endorsements by other CS coalitions
like the IG Caucus, Best Bits, or APC, they’d be in even better
shape when the UN DESA works its dark magic and selects for us
(grrr…). Civil society desperately needs to have serious and
strategically oriented representatives who will work together to
advance CS’s objectives in an environment where NETmundial has
endorsed the IGF strengthening we’d long advocated but
conservative proponents of a staid status quo are quite good at
process bending. So I hope some good people will consider this
possibility and seek nominations.</div>

<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for this. I’m traveling and not
in an optimal time zone but will try to
attend if I can. Either way, a suggestion:
in addition to whatever staff will be
reporting, it might be of interest to share
what members of the community are doing at
IGF. I’ll start, perhaps others could add
their activities.</div>

<div>(this is actually about developing
countries in the GNSO, but a few people on
the IGF MAG argued that the GNSO was “too
narrow” a concern so the title was made
broader and more generic)</div>
