"coalition of coalitions" of the major civil society
groups involved in the internet governance arena and
associated areas.(see details below). <span> </span>Our role in working
together <span>is to ensure a
co-ordinated civil society response and conduit when it

coalition members published a Call for Nominations within
their coalition, each member shortlisted the names from
their individual coalition (if necessary) which would be
further considered for endorsement.<span> </span>The CSCG Nominating
Committee considered 29 names short-listed for final

our nominating committee firstly considered the advice
from the Secretariat that 10 people considered to be civil
society representatives were ending their terms this year
- an unusually high number on an annual basis.
Accordingly, we have selected 10 names for new members as
outlined below.</font></div>
<div class="yiv0331799847MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;">We recommend the

representatives whose three year terms have not expired,
and we conclude that the only civil society person whose
term has not expired is Fatima Cambronero (Argentina), We
consider Fatima to be an excellent representative, and
have no hesitation in supporting the continuation of her
term of engagement. Accordingly, we also endorse the
continued involvement of <b>Fatima Cambronero</b> (Argentina) as the only
remaining civil society representative carried forward to
2015 MAG. In doing so we note that there are no other
continuing members of MAG who are civil society
representatives.</font></div>

to the above names, the CSCG has considered a wide range
of very talented civil society representatives it was
not able to include in its recommendations. We are very
thankful for all the applicants, despite their making
our job much harder, and will advise the Secretariat
that, should IGF require names of suitable and
accomplished additional representatives in providing
overall regional balance, we would be very pleased to
provide additional names in confidence of further civil
society people who could make an outstanding
contribution to the 2015 MAG. </font></span><span></span></div>

some brief biographical details for our letter to the IGF
