Call for Nominations: 2017 MAG Renewal
The Internet Society (ISOC) is facilitating a process leading to
recommendations from the Internet Technical Collaboration
Group<http://www.internetcollaboration.org/> for participation in the 2017
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/magabout>).
This process is for the technical community candidates only and candidate
evaluations will include their relationship to that community. Other
communities have their own processes.
The purpose of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) is to advise the U.N.
Secretary General on the programme and schedule of the Internet Governance
Forum meetings. The MAG comprises of 55 Members from governments, the private
sector and civil society, including representatives from the academic and
technical communities. Those nominated should expect to attend two virtual MAG
meetings per month as well as typically three face to face meetings per year.
Individuals interested in being suggested by the Nominating Committee are
invited to complete the Nomination
Form<http://www.internetcollaboration.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/2017-MAG-Nomination-Form_2017.docx>
in full and return it to
information(_dot_)itcg(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com<mailto:information(_dot_)itcg(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com>
by 2359 UTC on Tuesday, December 6th [NEW DEADLINE: DECEMBER 8]. In addition,
applicants are asked to provide responses to a set of
Questions<http://www.internetcollaboration.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/11/Supplementary-Questions-Form-2017.docx>
that are specific to the Internet technical community. Applications with
incomplete responses to either set of questions will not be considered.
Preferred formats for document submissions are .pdf and .txt. ISOC will
transmit the names of nominees to the United Nations no later than December
16th 2016.
Both sets of questions should be answered completely. Responses need not
necessarily be lengthy, but they must be sufficiently content-full that the
Nominating Committee can accurately judge from them the extent and specifics of
your background. If the applicant believes that an existing CV or biographical
sketch would contribute to the Nominating Committee's understanding of the
candidacy, such a document may be provided in either PDF form or in the form of
a link.
In terms of attendance at physical meetings, potential funding for MAG members
(selected applicants) is available through the IGF "Participant funding"
program outlined at
http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/participant-funding. Note that
this program is targeted only toward participants from Least Developed
Countries, Developing Countries or Transitional Economies.
