> "I am honoured to be able to work with such a group of representative

> perspectives within civil society are heard, respected, and represented,
> and that civil society works together to advance its causes in the internet
> governance area".
>
> CSCG sees its primary role as ensuring a co-ordinated civil society
> response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to
> outside bodies (such as IGF, NetMundial, and 1Net). It does not see itself
> as a policy making body. Further developments are expected in coming months
> as the expanded group begins to address a range of issues where civil
> society presence and effectiveness can be enhanced.
