Dear Carol, all,

This message is a follow-up on our last call and the discussion on whether the DCs could have a liaison to the MAG.

The DCCG took up this issue and agreed to submit a proposal to the MAG with the request to have formal representation of DCs in the MAG meetings. The objective is a  better integration of the DCs work in the IGF programme and structure and to create more formal recognition of the DCs' output. You find a link with access to the full document below.

We have four suggestions for improvement:

• Enabling the messages and outcomes from the DCs to be heard;
• Including two liaisons from the DCs in the MAG-meetings;
• Support for DC and DCCG output
• Distribution and integration of DCs work into the IGF mainstream.

The request is for recognised representation of an advisory nature and not a seat on the MAG.

Avri Doria (DC-SIG) and Wout de Natris - van der Borght (IS3C) have volunteered to be the first representatives.

On behalf of the DCCG I kindly request to put this issue on the agenda of the forthcoming MAG call for consideration. 

The proposal can be found at:

Best regards

Markus
