[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC @ IGF Istanbul + MAG

Fri Sep 12 12:11:26 CEST 2014

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.

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.
