My apologies for not forwarding this to the NCSG earlier. 

The IGF MAG has asked for two speakers to appear on behalf of civil society at the upcoming IGF. NCSG is one of the civil society networks that participate in the CSCG, and if you have a suggestion for an appropriate speaker please let us know.

> 1. Civil society members of the IGF MAG have been asked by the IGF Secretariat to provide two names to speak on behalf of CS, at the Opening and Closing Sessions of the upcoming IGF in Guadalajara. The Secretariar noted that names from under-represented groups would be welcomed.
> 
> 2. CS MAG members will reserve the right to make the final decision on which names to put forward to the Secretariat.

> 
> Until 9th November: Discuss between the CSCG members the names to be send to the CS MAG, taking into consideration names from under-represented groups. (there was not mention of how many names there should be)
