FYI.

Call for Applications for Internet Technical Community Representation
in the Internet Governance Forum Multistakeholder Advisory Group 2016
(MAG)

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.  More
information. <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/magabout>

The Internet Society (ISOC) is facilitating a
process<http://www.internetcollaboration.org/nominations/> leading to
recommendations from the Internet Technical Collaboration Group for
participation in the 2016 MAG<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/magabout>
of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).  A Nominating Committee
(NOMCOM) consisting of senior members of the Internet technical
community is currently being formed and will provide nominations to be
transmitted to the United Nations for consideration. Candidates should
be aware that nominations may or may not be accepted by the UN.

Individuals interested in being suggested by the Nominating Committee
are invited to complete the Nomination
Form<http://www.internetcollaboration.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/10/2015-MAG-Nomination-Form-10.10.14.docx>
in full to provide responses to a set of
Questions<http://www.internetcollaboration.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/10/Supplementary-Questions-Form-.docx>
that are specific to the Internet technical community. Both the form
and the answers to questions should be returned to
information.itcg at gmail.com<mailto:information.itcg at gmail.com> by 2359
UTC on Friday, January 22nd.  Applications with incomplete responses
to either set of questions will not be considered.  ISOC will transmit
the names of nominees to the United Nations no later than February
1st. More details on the nomination process can be found
here<http://wp.internetsociety.org/internetcollaboration/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/01/Mag-2016-Renewal-NomProcess_TC.docx>.

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
