<div>and just to be clear – this is for appointments to 1net steering committee,
not for Brazil. CS will be doing its own nominations for Brazil, not
through 1net, but not yet. Despite Adiel’s announcement elsewhere it is
confirmed that Brazil has not asked for reps yet or set a deadline. So we can do
that later.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>5 people need to be appointed, representing all of civil society, for 1net
steering. I am not sure myself, given this is an ongoing initiative quite
independent of Brazil, whether we should necessarily keep all current reps
for Brazil on 1net steering. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Calls have gone out here, in APC, via Diplo, and NCSG. Not sure where the
call on IGC list it, I might have missed it but Sala can advise. IN any case
please make sure IGC list people who may not be reading here are aware.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Nominations close midnight UTC Monday. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all, <br><br>Just to flag that I'd be interested in a 1net
steering committee role as well.<br><br>
<div>And Jeremy, in terms of process, could you maybe clarify though whether the
CS coordination group is planning to select people as representatives of a
particular network, or simply as CS representatives? I would argue that the
latter makes more sense, but it would be good to know what the coordination
group has in mind. <br><br></div>Many thanks, <br>Anja<br><br><br></div>

one of the Brazil liaisons to be a part of the 1net civil society steering

various committees/liaisons.<br><br>Finally, I realize that there is quite
some debate about what 1net is or is not but I do believe that there is
merit to participating and seeing where it leads us - as we have discussed
before. I would also note that there is considerable merit in bringing
stakeholders together and to figuring out what pressing IG related issues
those stakeholders can find commonality of purpose on and work together to
progress. <br><br>Matthew<br><br>
