On an unrelated issue, I heard that Avri will be serving in the newly<br>
formed IGF support forum. If I may ask, how is this different from MAG?<br>
Where does the new groups mandate end?<br>

I was (s)elected as part of the inaugural executive committee of the<br>
IGFSA, the Internet Governance Forum Support Association.<br>
<br>
This is a group, initiated with a grant by the Internet Society to raise<br>
money for the IGF (Internet Governance Forum) and for regional and<br>
national IGF type efforts. Since the IGF Trust only works for big<br>
donors who negotiate a contract with the trust, this is mean for the<br>
smaller contributions. It is one of 2, as far as I know, such<br>
fundraising efforts. The other being one initiated by Google.<br>
<br>
It is completely separate from the MAG, except perhaps for some of the<br>
same people being on both.<br>
<br>
We have only had one meeting so far and really have only gotten as far<br>
as agreeing to open a bank account in Geneva and on fundraising goals<br>
for the rest of this year and next year. I think we may have also<br>
started some subcommittee people who want to fundraise and publicize<br>
fundraising will be able to join, not exactly sure were wee are on that<br>
yet. We have a whole lot to talk about, but have not really gotten<br>
started yet. For those who have seen discussion on other lists about<br>
funding for travelers to IGF consultations, while that idea was brought<br>
up, it has not been decided on.<br>
<br>
The IGFSA has an open list<br>
<<a href="https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/igfsa" target="_blank">https://elists.isoc.org/<u></u>mailman/listinfo/igfsa</a>> but it has not seen<br>
much traffic yet. It also has a closed executive committee list. The<br>
website is <<a href="http://www.igfsa.org/" target="_blank">http://www.igfsa.org/</a>><br>
<br>
BTW, Subi Chaturvedi, also a member of NCSG is also a member of the<br>
IGFSA Executive Committee.<br>

As there is more to say, I will try to remember to say more. Feel free<br>
to ping me anytime, the bot will respond. ( :<br>
