MAG 2026 — Multistakeholder Advisory Group The Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) is the primary body responsible for the strategic, transparent, and inclusive development of the Liberia IGF 2026 programme. The MAG ensures that the Forum remains neutral, non-commercial, and reflective of Liberia’s diverse Internet governance ecosystem. The MAG operates in line with the principles and practices of the global Internet Governance Forum and the NRI Toolkit, serving as a cornerstone of the credibility and legitimacy of the Liberia Internet Governance Forum. Role & Responsibilities of the MAG The MAG 2026 is responsible for the following core functions:
  • Agenda Development: Review and evaluate submissions received through the Call for Input and shape a balanced, policy-relevant programme.
  • Multistakeholder Balance: Ensure fair representation of all stakeholder groups, including government, private sector, civil society, technical community, academia, and youth.

  • Strategic Guidance: Advise the Secretariat on thematic priorities, session formats, and emerging Internet governance issues relevant to Liberia.
