These days the group is very quiet, and mostly just exists to coordinate suggestions for MAG delegates. <div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Bruna is also a member of the group, but as a representative of IGC not NCSG. </div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>This is just to let you know that the suggestion has been made that CSCG convenes a Nominating Committee for the 3 civil society representatives to the IGF Expert Group Meeting, to be held 30 March- 1 April in New York. Normally for these situations I would issue a call for nominations on the NCSG-Discuss list, forward all nominations to the CSCG NomCom, and normally serve a the NCSG representative on the NomCom. <a href="https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-expert-group-meeting-egm" class="">https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-expert-group-meeting-egm</a></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Please let me know if you have any comments or queries on the proposed process. </div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Regards</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>David</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">PS if the NCSG-EC would like to put in place a process to replace or renew either Robin or myself as representatives on this committee, that would be good. Though I recommend that we only put someone on the committee who is aware of the complexities of relationships between these groups. Though it is a fairly thankless task, and it is doubtful how much UNDESA weighs the groups recommendations in recent years. </div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">NCSG-EC mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:NCSG-EC@lists.ncsg.is" class="">NCSG-EC@lists.ncsg.is</a><br class="">https://lists.ncsg.is/mailman/listinfo/ncsg-ec<br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
