It is a very good plan for the future, but not something that could

Where does that “two weeks” timeline come from?

Actually you're quite right, I'm mixing up the deadline for the CSTD
enhanced cooperation questionnaire (which is in two weeks) with the
(yet unspecified, but Izumi is finding out) deadline for nominating
panelists to the High Level Meeting. So maybe we have longer, but
surely not much longer.<br>
<br>
Establishing (or re-establishing - we had one in WSIS) a high-level
mechanism for civil society groups to jointly nominate candidates
for positions is very important, I couldn't agree with you more.
But it's also ambitious.<br>
<br>
Noting that thanks to your leadership the IGC has a workshop
relevant to this topic planned for Bali ("MS selection processes:
accountability and transparency"), it would be better, I feel, to
come up with a proposal and present it at that workshop. I wouldn't
want to rush it on account of what is probably a minimally important
pre-event in Bali.<br>
<br>
However, if you disagree then by all means put your idea to the IGC
then I can put it to the Best Bits interim steering group and we can
reach out to the other relevant groups and networks too. If it were
me though, I would rather wait.<br>
