Ian Peter was an independent facilitator. Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) was involved with the process and the call for nominations, but when its representative and sole co ordinator at this stage (Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro) withdrew at a late stage it was not possible to provide a replacement in the short time frame. Hopefully these difficulties within IGC will be resolved for future efforts (with IGC co ordinator elections due now). However, with 3 ex-coordinators of IGC involved with the selection process we believe its interests were fully represented.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;">Calls from nominations were invited on the mailing lists of Diplo, Best Bits, IGC, NCSG and other civil society networks. Diplo community undertook a process of narrowing its large pool of nominations to two names before consideration by other selection committee members, and the result of the various calls from various networks was that 13 names were considered by the committee. The final names were arrived at by consensus of all the representatives involved.</font><span style="line-height: 13pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;">All of these representatives were chosen for their capacity to represent civil society as a whole, not just their individual organisational affiliations. We believe these representatives give a good cross section of the various interests of civil society in internet governance issues.</font><span style="line-height: 13pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;">Ian Peter</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><span style="line-height: 13pt;">Independent Facilitator</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;">for Civil Society Coordination Group</p></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
