Two members and a fellow traveler already nominated below, but more would be welcome… Bill Begin forwarded message: > From: William Drake <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: [bestbits] Call for nominations for civil society representatives for the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory group (MAG) > Date: September 25, 2014 at 11:42:36 AM GMT+2 > To: Best Bits <[log in to unmask]>, Governance <[log in to unmask]> > > Hello > > I would like to nominate Matt Shears (UK) of the Center for Democracy and Technology. Matt has a proven record of professionalism and ability to work constructively not only with civil society partners but also governments and others stakeholders in such settings as the WSIS & WSIS+10, IGF, ITU, CSTD, and beyond.
