Hi everyone: I would like to nominate Magaly Pazello for one of the
NCSG's seats at the GNSO Council.

Magaly is a senior fellow of EMERGE-Communication and Emergence
Research Centre at Federal Fluminense University (Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil), where she leads the research on internet governance. In the
last five years she has conducted research on the strategic uses of
internet by political communities in Brazil and its connection to
broader internet governance topics and their interface with human
rights and gender issues. She also is a collaborator of NUPEF
Institute.

She has an extensive experience in gender, human rights, and ICTs. In
the last 10 years Magaly has been working in Brazil to foster the
women's organizations participation in the internet governance and
ICTs debate. Taking a leadership role she launched the first feminist
coalition to raise awareness on the relevance of internet regulation,
architecture and institutions to the human rights as well as to
contribute to the policy debates through the gender perspective.

Over 18 years Magaly has been working with non-governmental
organizations at national, regional and global levels. She was
actively involved in the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS)
since its inception as civil society representative. She also has
played a key role during the WSIS 2sd phase as Advocacy Team Leader of
the WSIS Gender Caucus. After WSIS she has been involved in a number
of IGF activities. Currently she is member of the financial oversight
council of ISOC Brazil and lately she was a member of the Brazilian
chapter of the Gender Advisory Board (GAB) of the UN Commission on
Science and Technology for Development. She is also member of a
several civil society and women's rights coalitions and networks at
local and global levels.
