<div><b>Explanation of process </b></div>
<div> </div></div>
<div style="WORD-WRAP:break-word">
<div>The civil society coordinating group is a loose peak body that came
together this year to facilitate joint civil society participation in several
nominating processes. It currently comprises persons from the most active
civil society coalitions or networks in the Internet governance space, which in
no particular order are the Internet Governance Caucus, Diplo Foundation, Best
Bits, the Non Commercial Stakeholder Group of ICANN, and the Association for
Progressive Communications. The current liaisons are Virginia Paque,
Jeremy Malcolm, Robin Gross and Chat Garcia Ramilo, with Ian Peter as an
independent facilitator. Its current composition is imperfect - the
boundary between an organisation and network is grey, and so is the scope of
"Internet governance". In particular, we are reaching out to other civil
society networks to further broaden the inclusiveness of the group and have
developed a draft set of criteria to assist in this process.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Likewise, the process for gathering and reaching consensus is also a work
in progress, but progressive improvements to the process have been put in place
since the group's first nomination. These improvements include refinement
of criteria for each member network to consider when putting forward names for
consideration. Other suggested changes to the process, such as the use of
a randomly-selected nominating committee, have not met with consensual support
from within the group and so have not been adopted for this nomination.
However, the coordinating group welcomes other suggestions for improvement of
the joint process.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
