IGCBP alumni elected to MAG Three IGCBP alumni - Jean Yves Gatete, Fouad Bajwa and Katitza Rodriguez – have been elected to join the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). The 56-strong group, which includes other IGCBP alumni, represents all stakeholder groups, including Governments, private sector and civil society, as well as the academic and technical communities. The members also represent all the regions and include 20 women. The group is entrusted with assisting in the preparations for the annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum. The renewed composition of the group is the result of broad-based consultations, and reflects a widely-held view that the Group should represent a better balance in terms of geographical diversity and gender. During the recent elections, Special Adviser for Internet Governance to the Secretary-General, Nitin Desai, has been asked to continue as the Advisory Group Chairman.
