Subject: [Internet Policy] Call for Nominations for Internet Technical
Community Representation in the Internet Governance Forum
Multistakeholder Advisory Group 2017 (MAG)
To: Internet Policy External <InternetPolicy at elists.isoc.org>

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.itcg at gmail.com<mailto:information.itcg at gmail.com> by 2359
UTC on Tuesday, December 6th. 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.
