>>
>>
>> Our two designated attendees are:
>>
>> *1. Stuart Hamilton* – Netherlands -Deputy Secretary General,
>> International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
>>
>> *2 Anriette Esterhuysen* – South Africa – Executive Director,
>> Association for Progressive Communications (APC)

>>
>> Our additional nominations are:

>> *3. Jac S M Kee* – Malaysia – Manager Women’s Rights Program, APC

>> *4. Cisse Kane* -Senegal - Chair, African Civil Society on the
>> Information Society (ACSIS)
>>
>> *5. Analia Apsis* – Argentina – Co-coordinator, Internet Governance
>> Caucus
>>
>> *6. Renata Ribeiro* – Brazil - IT Professor, Federal University of
>> Ceará, Brazil.
>>
>>
>> I believe you will have biographical details of all of these nominations,
>> as we believe they all also applied by your online system; but please
>> contact us if you need further information on any of these applicants.
>>
>> These names have been selected after following as best possible in the
>> time available our established procedures, which are outlined at
>> http://www.internetgov-cs.org/procedures. They were chosen from 10
>> people who made direct contact with us seeking endorsement as civil society
>> representatives. (Their names are included in Appendix A).
>>
>> We commend these excellent representatives of civil society to you.
>>
>> Additionally, and in the spirit of co-operation to ensure the best
>> possible representivity for civil society stakeholders as such events, I
>> wonder if you could take on board the following suggestions on conducting
>> future such exercises, and circulate these to relevant colleagues?
>>
>> The recommendations are based on the best practice we have observed with
>> other organisations in selecting multistakeholder representatives. We are
>> aware that on this occasion there have been some problems with the way this
>> event was announced, but we will keep our comments to some positive
>> suggestions on procedures for selecting applicants.
>>
>> 1. The process you ran necessitated all civil society applicants
>> applying via your advertised procedures, and then separately to us. Most
>> organisations these days run a transparent process whereby applications
>> details are shared with stakeholder groups. This is not a privacy problem
>> if people are advised beforehand. We commend this method to you as one
>> which is easier for applicants, and also allows for better sharing of
>> information towards selecting the best possible candidates.
>> 2. An unusual feature of the way this selection was managed is
>> that we needed to tell you our selections at the same time as you were
>> still receiving applications (our deadline was the same as the applicant’s
>> deadline). This was further complicated by the MAG members selecting their
>> representative at the same time. May we suggest that, in allocating
>> timeframes for such processes, you allow a period of time after individual
>> nominations have closed to receive stakeholder group nominations? This
>> makes for a less messy process all round.
>>
>> 3. We understand that, in finalising stakeholder representatives,
>> you wish to ensure that you achieve the best possible gender and geographic
>> balance across stakeholder groups. Your process for doing this on this and
>> other occasions has been to make final selections yourselves without
>> further consultation with stakeholder groups. This can sometimes be
>> problematic, as you cannot possibly be aware of the ramifications of some
>> such choices within stakeholder groups.
>>
>> The way other organisations have handled this is to arrange a
>> simultaneous phone hookup with representatives of stakeholder groups to
>> discuss such final balance issues. You will find that we actually work
>> quite well together in such circumstances, and we believe that the results
>> will be more acceptable to stakeholder groups if this quick final
>> consultation is included. This is also more aligned with the recommendation
>> of the Working Group on Improvements to the IGF, later endorsed by the UN
>> General Assembly, seeking self-management of stakeholder representative
>> processes by respective stakeholder groups. Your current practices need to
>> move further in this direction.
>>
>> We offer the above suggestions in the spirit of co-operation with you, as
>> we also want to see the best possible representation of stakeholders. And
>> again, we offer our services to work with you and other stakeholder groups
>> to refine procedures to ensure more acceptable and more representative
>> results.
>>
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>

>> Ian Peter – Independent Chair, Internet Governance Civil Society
>> Coordination Group (CSCG)

>> (The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) exists solely to ensure a
>> coordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making
>> civil society appointments to outside bodies. It comprises representatives
>> of the coalition members of the Best Bits, Association for Progressive
>> Communications, Internet Governance Caucus, Just Net Coalition, and
>> Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group of ICANN. Together the reach of these
