>  Dear Secretariat,
>
> Subi Chaturvedi passed on to us your request for civil society nominations
> for speakers for this years IGF Closing Ceremony. Thank you for ensuring
> that civil society is involved in choosing its representatives to speak on
> this occasion.
>
> This request was dealt with by the Internet Governance Civil Society Co
> ordination Group (CSCG). This peak group consists of representatives of the
> major civil society coalitions involved in Internet Governance issues,
> including Internet Governance Caucus, Best Bits, Association for
> Progressive Communications, Diplo Foundation, Just Net Coalition, Civicus,
> and Non Commercial Stakeholders Group of ICANN. The group, founded in 2013,
> has a primary role to ensure a co-ordinated civil society response and
> conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside
> bodies. This was accepted and respected during the NetMundial (Brazil)
> process, and by the 1net community, and we will be pleased to also work
> with IGF in the future as regards civil society representation.
>
> It was therefore appropriate for this body to consider the question of
> speakers for the IGF closing session as requested.
>
> After calling for expressions of interest and nominations through the
> various networks, the CSCG discussed prospective speakers and makes the
> following recommendations.
>
> Firstly, we believe that civil society must have two speakers. Just like
> governments or any other stakeholder group, we have more perspectives than
> can be handled with just one speaking slot,  and even with two speakers
> we feel we are under-represented.
>
> With this in mind, and bearing also in mind the multistakeholder principle
> that stakeholders should choose their own representatives, we submit the
> following two names.
>
>  SPEAKER NO 1
>
> Our first speaker is Dr Burcu Kilic. Dr Kilic is a Turkish citizen who is
> an expert on legal, economic and political issues surrounding intellectual
> property law, policy, development and innovation. We are pleased to be able
> to nominate such a talented speaker from the host country.
>
> SPEAKER NO 2
>
> Our second speaker is Dr Milton Mueller. Dr Mueller is a Professor at
> Syracuse University. His research, teaching and public service for the last
> 15 years have been concentrated on the internet governance arena.
>
> Please let us know if you need any further information or contact details.

> Sincerely,
