>>>
>>>
>>> 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:

>>> *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.
