Thank you, Joana.  Those of us on the civil society coalition steering committee thought it would be best if we would not be eligible for any of the committee seats ourselves, so as to avoid messy conflicts of both seeking a seat while also serving on the committee making the decision about the seats.   Since I said I would represent NCSG in the coalition, I won't be eligible for any of the committee seats myself.  BUT I will work hard to get the best people into those seats who will represent civil society well and especially NCSG in these important policy inputs.

Thanks again,

Robin

Friends,

We've been told by Adiel that each of the following stakeholders will receive 5 spots on the 1Net Steering Committee: business, civil society, academia, technical.  Therefore the coalition of civil society networks (NCSG, APC, Diplo, IGC, Best Bits) is working to nominate 5 representatives for civil society to the 1Net Steering Committee.  We are using the same committee and process that we used to nominate the 2 civil society representatives to the High Level Panel on IG last week.

Therefore, we are now accepting nominations for civil society representatives to the 1Net Steering Committee until Monday 9 December 23:59 UTC.  You can nominate someone else or yourself by posting the nomination to this list before then.  Before you nominate another please be sure that your nominee has already agreed to serve on the 1Net Steering Committee if she/he is selected by the larger coalition as one of the five civil society representatives.

Also bear in mind that we will be similarly impaneling the civil society representatives to the Brazil meeting organizing committees in the coming weeks also, but the 1Net Steering Committee's establishment has a tighter deadline so we are dealing with it first.

Of course it would helpful to know just what 1Net has been set up to do and what is the scope of its work before agreeing to serve on its steering committee, but those things haven't been set yet - its largely a chicken and egg paradox.   Therefore, those people who are most interested in shaping the form and direction of 1Net should consider serving on its initial steering committee.

Thank you!
Robin
