[Chapter-delegates] Names for the Advisory Group of the Internet Governance Forum

[David McAuley]

Dear  Chapter Delegates,

You will recall that the Chair of the Internet Governance Forum has
called for suggestions for candidates for the Advisory Group of the IGF.
Link and details are here:   http://www.intgovforum.org/index.htm  

We understand that the AG will assist the UN SG and the IGF Chair set up
the IGF and the Athens meeting - whether this particular AG would
continue beyond Athens remains to be seen.  The AG will discuss
substance (issue focus) as well as organizational matters (agenda
setting, planning) - the first meeting of the AG is to be held (in
Geneva) on May 22-23.  The composition of the 40 members is expected to
be along the following lines: 20 or so from governments; 20 or so shared
between private sector, CS, and the academic and technical communities.

We are compiling a list of possible names to be forwarded to the IGF
Chair and would very much appreciate your suggestions as to who would be
good candidates for this Advisory Group.  

Many thanks for your assistance.

Best regards,

Matthew Shears & David McAuley
