I have met him at last year's IGF in Brazil, and appreciated his enthusiasm and mixed background that certainly adds to diversity in a community where we see a lot of the same faces. While those same faces are invaluable and precious contributors we are very lucky to have, I welcome also people who have the potential to bridge over new communities. So my +1 to Michal, and thanks Ayden for this great idea. All the best, stefi ________________________________________ Da: NCSG-Discuss <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> per conto di Ayden Férdeline <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Inviato: martedì 13 dicembre 2016 18.58.44 A: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Oggetto: IGF MAG Nomination - Michael Oghia Greetings, all- As you may be aware, the purpose of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) is to advise the U.N. Secretary General on the programme and schedule of the annual Internet Governance Forum. The MAG comprises of 55 members from government, the private sector, and civil society, and currently includes NCSG members Avri Doria, Renata Aquino Ribeiro, and Ephraim Percy Kenyanito, among others (apologies if I have missed any names). Those nominated are expected to attend two virtual MAG meetings per month as well as three face-to-face meetings per year. I would like the NCSG to consider nominating one of our members, Michael Oghia, to serve on the MAG for 2017. I see Michael as a bridge between stakeholder groups and regions, as he represents: * Developed nations (having been born and raised in the United States); * MENA region (he is Lebanese, works with iGmena, and does considerable work in the region); * Europe (he currently lives in Serbia); * Youth (he is 28); and * Civil society. He is already heavily involved in IGF processes, such as the IXP and IPv6 Best Practice Forums, spearheading work with Dynamic Coalitions (DC), such as the DC on Core Internet Values and the DC on the Internet and Climate Change, and has been involved in national and regional IGF initiatives, such as the Southeastern European Dialogue on Internet Governance (SEEDIG) and the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG). He has also been an Internet Society Ambassador to the IGF twice, is an active member of the Youth Coalition on Internet Governance where he advocates for more youth involvement in the field, was a fellow at EuroDIG and its youth pre-event, and he has been an NCUC and NCSG member for the past 12 months where he has been instrumental in developing the charter for the Middle East and Adjoining Countries Special Working Group. Finally, I know Michael and he has the positive energy and collaborative spirit that the MAG needs to get work done. He has a quick mind, the ability to draw connections others don't see, and the ability to draw out the talents of others. He is always listening and motivating others with intelligent, constructive feedback. I can't imagine anyone I'd want to work with more in the Internet governance space. MAG nominations close on 16 December - I appreciate this nomination has come through very last minute, but I hope we might consider lending our support to one of our members.
