Are you planning to attend the WSIS Forum in June? There is a call for civil society High Level Track Facilitators. Please let me and/or Robin know in the next couple of days (by the 25th of January) if you are interested in being a facilitator and representing civil society in general (and being put forward with the support of the NCSG) and we will pass on your interest to the Civil Society Coordination Group. 

Please not that this does not come with any support to attend the WSIS Forum, so you will need to be able to attend the forum using other resources. This position is purely the opportunity to do some extra work at the forum that may help achieve useful outcomes.
