Thank you very much, Tapani, for the nomination, and many thanks to NCSG colleagues for expressing their support. 

The CSCG has just shared the results of their deliberations. They appointed  Paulina Gutierrez (Mexico) and Anita Gurmurthy (India) to serve as CS speakers. I am sure our colleagues will do a great job in conveying CS priorities and that they will be open to hear inputs from all CS groups. 

Thanks again and safe flights back
All the best wishes,
Marilia 


Dear colleagues,

I would like to inform you that the CSCG has been reviewing names put forward for nomination within different Civil Society (CS) groups. The task was to select only two names to be sent to CS MAG representatives as candidates for speaking roles at the upcoming IGF 2016 in Mexico.

The time was very short and I would like to thank those who submitted their names (through various lists) and to let you know that we did our best in coming up with a consensus on the names to recommend:

Here are the two names that received most votes within the CSCG:

1. Paulina GUTIERREZ (Mexico) - Head of Digital & Human Rights Program at Article 19 Mexico.
2. Anita Gurmurthy (India) - Executive Director of IT for Change

Two other names didn't get the needed votes and may serve as alternates in the event any of the two are having issues to attend or if CS MAG Reps are willing to discuss their candidacy:
1. Luca Belli
2. Marilia Manciel

I want to make it clear that final DECISION will be taken by our Civil Society represenatives on the MAG. I will share more details when we have heard back from them.

Should you have any question on the process, do not hesitate to contact either Wisdom or myself who represent the IGC in the CSCG.

Best regards,
Arsene
