        <br>
            This is an absolutely outstanding list of nominees!
        <br>
        <br>
            Thank you so much to all candidates for standing, and to the
        CSCG
        <br>
            for coming up with such an impressive and balanced list of
        nominees.
        <br>
        <br>
            Also many congratulations to all those who have been
        nominated. If
        <br>
            only we can get UNDESA to finally respect this year civil
        society's
        <br>
            recommendations, I am sure that we will have a very strong
        <br>
            representation of civil society's interests in the next
        year's MAG.
        <br>
            It is really heartening to see that we can put forward such
        a strong
        <br>
            yet varied list of names, and do so in unison.
        <br>
        <br>
            Finally, I also wanted to thank the outgoing civil society
        <br>
            representatives, as well as Fatima, for all their hard work
        in the
        <br>
            MAG over the years. You've been wonderful.

                The Internet Governance Civil Society Co ordination

                is pleased to be able to inform you of our
        recommendations as
        <br>
                regards civil society representation on MAG 2015.
        <br>
        <br>
                As you know, CSCG is a "€œcoalition of coalitions"€ of
        the major
        <br>
                civil society groups involved in the internet governance
        arena
        <br>
                and associated areas.(see details below). Our role in
        working
        <br>
                together is to ensure a co-ordinated civil society
        response and
        <br>
                conduit when it comes to making civil society
        appointments to
        <br>
                outside bodies.
        <br>
        <br>
                *Nominations for 2015 MAG civil society representatives*
        <br>
        <br>
                After each of our coalition members published a Call for
        <br>
                Nominations within their coalition, each member
        shortlisted the
        <br>
                names from their individual coalition (if necessary)
        which would
        <br>
                be further considered for endorsement.The CSCG
        Nominating
        <br>
                Committee considered 29 names short-listed for final
        discussion,
        <br>
                with the following criteria.
        <br>
        <br>
                1. Past record of active engagement as part of civil
        society
        <br>
                groups working on internet governance issues, acting or
        speaking
        <br>
                out assertively on behalf of public interest concerns.
        <br>
        <br>
                2 Willingness and commitment to consult with and report
        back to
        <br>
                CS networks (including beyond those focused on internet
        <br>
                governance where appropriate) on MAG discussions.
        <br>
        <br>
                3. Previous attendee at IGF at a global or regional
        level.
        <br>
        <br>
                4. Willing, available and able to participate
        effectively and
        <br>
                constructively in the MAG deliberations.
        <br>
        <br>
                In considering names, our nominating committee firstly
        <br>
                considered the advice from the Secretariat that 10
        people
        <br>
                considered to be civil society representatives were
        ending their
        <br>
                terms this year -€“ an unusually high number on an
        annual basis.
        <br>
                Accordingly, we have selected 10 names for new members
        as
        <br>
                outlined below.
        <br>
        <br>
                We recommend the following 10 names as the new
        representatives
        <br>
                for civil society (in alphabetical order). Each will
        need to
        <br>
                submit a full application with further details
        pertaining to
        <br>
                their suitability as MAG members.
        <br>
        <br>
                *1.**Sunil Abraham*(India)
        <br>
        <br>
                *2.**Renata Avila*(Guatemala)
        <br>
        <br>
                *3.**Oh Byoungil*(South Korea)
        <br>
        <br>
                *4.**John Dada*(Nigeria)
        <br>
        <br>
                *5.**Avri Doria *(USA)
        <br>
        <br>
                *6.**Stuart Hamilton *(United Kingdom)
        <br>
        <br>
                *7.**Lea Kaspar *(Croatia).
        <br>
        <br>
                *8.**Jak SM Kee*(Malaysia).
        <br>
        <br>
                *9.**Ephraim Percy Kenyanito *(Kenya)
        <br>
        <br>
                *10.**Virginia Paque*(Venezuela)
        <br>
        <br>
                We also considered the remaining representatives whose
        three
        <br>
                year terms have not expired, and we conclude that the
        only civil
        <br>
                society person whose term has not expired is Fatima
        Cambronero
        <br>
                (Argentina), We consider Fatima to be an excellent
        <br>
                representative, and have no hesitation in supporting the
        <br>
                continuation of her term of engagement. Accordingly, we
        also
        <br>
                endorse the continued involvement of *Fatima Cambronero*
        <br>
                (Argentina) as the only remaining civil society
        representative
        <br>
                carried forward to 2015 MAG. In doing so we note that
        there are
        <br>
                no other continuing members of MAG who are civil society
        <br>
                representatives.
        <br>
        <br>
                In addition to the above names, the CSCG has considered
        a wide
        <br>
                range of very talented civil society representatives it
        was not
        <br>
                able to include in its recommendations. We are very
        thankful for
        <br>
                all the applicants, despite their making our job much
        harder,
        <br>
                and will advise the Secretariat that, should IGF require
        names
        <br>
                of suitable and accomplished additional representatives
        in
        <br>
                providing overall regional balance, we would be very
        pleased to
        <br>
                provide additional names in confidence of further civil
        society
        <br>
                people who could make an outstanding contribution to the
        2015 MAG.
        <br>
        <br>
                We will be in contact with the selected CS
        representatives
        <br>
                shortly to discuss some brief biographical details for
        our
        <br>
                letter to the IGF Secretariat, and other details of
        their
        <br>
                nominations. In the mean time, we thank everyone for
        their
        <br>
                participation and co-operation in this exercise and
        believe that
        <br>
                this effort has yielded some outstanding candidates to
        represent
        <br>
                civil society.
