With all<br>
of the ensuing activity at the IGF, we have not yet managed to put<br>
together a report of the meeting, but this will be sent soon (along with<br>
some photos of the event).<br>
<br>
However there is one item that had been on the agenda for the final<br>
session of the day that I neglected to bring up, and this was about the<br>
Civil Society Coordination Group, which is the small group of<br>
representatives of civil society networks in the Internet governance<br>
space that coordinates joint nomination of civil society representatives<br>
for positions such as the IGF MAG.<br>
<br>
Since its inception, Ian Peter has been the chair of the CSCG and I have<br>
been the Best Bits representative. But Ian is stepping down, and I am<br>
also willing to step down, so I would like to invite you to consider any<br>
suggestions for replacements. The positions are not very demanding in<br>
terms of time, but they can sometimes require you to respond quickly<br>
when a nomination opportunity comes up on short notice.<br>
<br>
The chair should be someone who is well organised, can act in a neutral<br>
manner, and has a track record of involvement with the Internet<br>
governance community. The Best Bits representative should also be<br>
someone who is well connected with the community and whose particular<br>
responsibility will be to liaise with our list about the opportunities<br>
that come up, and to relay and explain our suggestions to the rest of<br>
the CSCG.<br>
<br>
If anyone is interested in either of these positions, or would like to<br>
nominate someone else who may be interested, please let me know.<br>
