I have met him at last year's IGF in Brazil, and<br class="">appreciated his enthusiasm and mixed background that certainly adds to<br class="">diversity in a community where we see a lot of the same faces. While those<br class="">same faces are invaluable and precious contributors we are very lucky to<br class="">have, I welcome also people who have the potential to bridge over new<br class="">communities.

Secretary General on the programme and<br class="">schedule of the annual Internet Governance Forum. The MAG comprises of 55<br class="">members from government, the private sector, and civil society, and currently<br class="">includes NCSG members Avri Doria, Renata Aquino Ribeiro, and Ephraim<br class="">Percy Kenyanito, among others (apologies if I have missed any names). Those<br class="">nominated are expected to attend two virtual MAG meetings per month as<br class="">well as three face-to-face meetings per year.<br class=""><br class="">I would like the NCSG to consider nominating one of our members, Michael<br class="">Oghia, to serve on the MAG for 2017. I see Michael as a bridge between<br class="">stakeholder groups and regions, as he represents:<br class=""><br class=""> * Developed nations (having been born and raised in the United States);<br class=""> * MENA region (he is Lebanese, works with iGmena, and does considerable<br class="">work in the region);<br class=""> * Europe (he currently lives in Serbia);<br class=""> * Youth (he is 28); and<br class=""> * Civil society.<br class=""><br class="">He is already heavily involved in IGF processes, such as the IXP and IPv6 Best<br class="">Practice Forums, spearheading work with Dynamic Coalitions (DC), such as<br class="">the DC on Core Internet Values and the DC on the Internet and Climate<br class="">Change, and has been involved in national and regional IGF initiatives, such as<br class="">the Southeastern European Dialogue on Internet Governance (SEEDIG) and the<br class="">European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG).<br class=""><br class="">He has also been an Internet Society Ambassador to the IGF twice, is an active<br class="">member of the Youth Coalition on Internet Governance where he advocates<br class="">for more youth involvement in the field, was a fellow at EuroDIG and its youth<br class="">pre-event, and he has been an NCUC and NCSG member for the past 12<br class="">months where he has been instrumental in developing the charter for the<br class="">Middle East and Adjoining Countries Special Working Group.<br class=""><br class="">Finally, I know Michael and he has the positive energy and collaborative spirit<br class="">that the MAG needs to get work done. He has a quick mind, the ability to draw<br class="">connections others don't see, and the ability to draw out the talents of others.<br class="">He is always listening and motivating others with intelligent, constructive<br class="">feedback. I can't imagine anyone I'd want to work with more in the Internet<br class="">governance space.<br class=""><br class="">MAG nominations close on 16 December - I appreciate this nomination has<br class="">come through very last minute, but I hope we might consider lending our<br class="">support to one of our members.<br class=""><br class="">Best wishes,<br class=""><br class="">Ayden Férdeline<br class=""><a href="http://linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" class="">linkedin.com/in/ferdeline</a><<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" class="">http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline</a>><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which<br class="">it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
