<div dir="ltr">It might be nice to suggest a list of key characteristics related to a goal before getting too bogged down in specific people (all of whom, so far, are wonderful, and there are a few other fantastic Brazilian advocates we maybe should add!). For example:<div><br></div><div>1. We want at least one of the speakers to reflect a new generation of leaders, to illustrate how we're growing as a movement.</div><div><br></div><div>2. We want a Brazilian because it would highlight the strength of NGOs in the host country.</div><div><br></div><div>3. We want someone who can aggregate disparate views from NGOs in a manner that is coherent but reflective of our diversity</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Any one person can have one or all of these characteristics -- at least for me it would help to know what those nominating think the goal should be. And for less well known nominees, it would help if their own organizations, or people who know them well, could help identify the key new generation of leaders.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 25, 2015 at 7:29 AM, Andrew Puddephatt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew@gp-digital.org" target="_blank">andrew@gp-digital.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">+1 - I like the idea of having fresh voices that show our strength in depth</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b style="color:rgb(7,55,99);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Andrew Puddephatt</b><br><font color="#073763" face="verdana, sans-serif">Executive Director</font><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99);font-family:verdana,sans-serif"> | </span><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">GLOBAL PARTNERS DIGITAL</span><br><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">Development House, 56–64 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT</span><br><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">T: </span><a value="+442075490337" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">+44 (0)20 7549 033</a><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">6 </span><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">| Skype: andrewpuddephatt</span><br><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><a href="http://gp-digital.org/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:x-small" target="_blank">gp-digital.org</a></div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Really great candidates all around. Somehow I feel though that it<br>
would be really great to have new voices speak on behalf of CS, which<br>
could also help us attract new people to our group of civil society<br>
activists. We all know we need them more then ever with the upcoming<br>
battles.<br>
<br>
What about Geetha Hariharan (CIS India) and Fernanda Shirikawa (Escola<br>
de Ativismo & Coding Rights) ?<br>
<br>
Also +1 for Paz.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Niels<br>
