Hi

Other CS networks are busy nominating people for the IGF MAG, and NCSG could do the same.  Two members and a fellow traveler already nominated below, but more would be welcome…

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.  He would be an excellent addition to the CS MAG contingent.

Best,

Bill

I wish to nominate Avri Doria, US, female. She is well known on this list, very experienced and committed, and certainly willing and capable to report back. We need good people on the MAG, and Avri is one of the strongest candidates we can get for this job.
