  • An interesting point of view : The Forum MAG: Who Are These People? ( Dr. Milton Mueller, May 18 2006)
  • see also the IGF in the ICANNwiki

    Post Scriptum ( June 11 2007 ) : It is quite clear that in the defunct MAG, among the six persons nominated from the Internet Governance Caucus selection, only two did not have strong ties with the ICANN system. The ICANN system has been very well represented not only as such, but also through proxies in the Civil Society and in the Business sector, and this is raising serious questions, as ICANN proxies did not hesitate to speak on behalf of the "Civil Society".

    Update ( February 2008 ) : The MAG in its original 2006 composition has been ressurected from the dead in August 2007 to prepare in haste the IGF in Rio. It is now quite clear that APC is closely linked with ICANN :

    ICANN is one of the organizations that we target in particular, in the sense that we try to encourage particularly people who aren't part of the ICANN world but certainly will become much more important, I think, as ICANN itself becomes far more relevant globally, as all of the issues that we're dealing with, particularly issues like IDNs and participation in general become more relevant.
    So I'm particularly interested in trying to encourage people from communities who maybe aren't the usual suspects that you tend to find in the ICANN world from, in particular, developing countries to get a little bit more involved in a public-policy process which they can actually influence. And that is one thing that you can say about ICANN.
    So I'm also very keen to encourage women to get more involved in the ICANN world. And I'm quite hopeful that we will be able to encourage more women to apply.
