Dear CSCG members,

Thanks to Lea and Sheetal that remind us this deadline, I do proceed to inform you about the MAG CS request:

1. Civil society members of the IGF MAG have been asked by the IGF Secretariat to provide two names to speak on behalf of CS, at the Opening and Closing Sessions of the upcoming IGF in Guadalajara. The Secretariar noted that names from under-represented groups would be welcomed.

2. CS MAG members will reserve the right to make the final decision on which names to put forward to the Secretariat.

3. However, CS MAG asked the CSCG to send them recommendations on who these two CS representatives should be. Deadline to send the names to CS MAG is 10th November COB

In order to accomplish our task and taking into consideration that we do have little time to circulate the call with your networks, I would suggest:

Until 7th November: Deadline to receive in this list the names of your candidates, after making consultations on your respective networks

Until 9th November: Discuss between the CSCG members the names to be send to the CS MAG, taking into consideration names from under-represented groups. (there was not mention of how many names there should be)

10th November: Final list will be sent to the CS MAG to be considered. 

I do invite you to circulate this call asap in your networks!

Cheers,

Analía & Richard
