<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Jeremy for the update. And please kindly extend our appreciation to the team working with you. Here is my input:<br><ol><li>Some consideration should be given to policy experience</li><li>We may need to add a male European/ a male African for balance</li>
<li>An interesting name is one person who I know if from the media, a CS sector that we have not heard much from.</li></ol><p>Going by the above, I will recommend the addition of Vladimir Radunovic and Remmy Nweke.<br></p>
<p>Vlada has policy and legal experience and is an IG old timer and EuroDig facilitator. Remmy has just published a book: "10 years of ICT reporting" and also has IG experience, organising forums in Nigeria and contributing in West Africa.</p>

Amongst the criteria being considered are ability to represent civil society as a whole, ability to work collegiately with other stakeholder groups, and knowledge about internet governance issues - but all the liaisons are free to specify what criteria their constituents feel are important, so we can do that too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We aim to finalise the decision today, so if you have thoughts relevant to the criteria or to the shortlisted nominees, feel free to add them to this thread or to email me privately, so that I can pass them on to the coordinating group.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Note again that this only relates to the 1net steering committee appointment. We are still liaising with the Brazilian organisers about the process to be used for nomination of civil society representatives to the two Brazil meeting committees and do not have final information about that yet. But I will write a separate thread about that.</div>
