<br>
Deadline from IGF secretariat is actually tomorrow, Wednesday.<br>
<br>
And we should not that this list of names will be forwarded to the
host country government organisers, and they will then decide who
to invite. So my suggestion is not to stress too much about it. As
long as give them a list that is regionally diverse.<br>
<br>
My suggestion considering how little time we have for this process
was to send around 14 names, from IGC, BestBits, Community
Informatics, CSISAC, JustNet, and a few others.<br>
<br>
So if IGC can send two names that would be great, and then just
make sure they are not the same names being put forward by the
other networks. <br>
<br>
One option would be to put forward your and Deirdre's names as
coordinators of the IGC. Will you both be there?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our colleague Anriette Esterhuysen who is also a CS member
on the MAG has been asked to provide names of people who could
embody CS presence at a "High-Level" (ministerial) meeting
during Istanbul IGF. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The notification was sent to us about 24 hours ago, and
names are expected to be recommended by close of business
today. I and Deirdre as co-cos are traveling. Indeed after the
African IGF in Abuja last week, I am in Lome where, alas,
Internet is still a relative luxury as far as I can see, from
the standpoint of the average literate (let alone the average
population.) So it is likely that any request for action may
take about 24 hours to be heeded, from my end.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Based on the short notice, I suggest that we put forward
the name of Ms. Deirdre Williams representing the IGC in that
process (maybe along a second person.) I haven't had time to
inform Deirdre about this (and probably time is too short for
that kind of protocol.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Because, it is not clear to me whether we are being asked 2
names from each one of the CS larger networks in the field (or
2 names for all of those networks including IGC, Bestbits and
NCSG), I would ask you to suggest a second name so that we're
ready just in case.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unless I hear strong objection --either from De herself or
from any other IGC members-- with an alternate name, and/or I
notify Anriette otherwise, De will be our representative on
and for this.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>I would ask Anriette to give us, assuming some time margin
is under control regarding the deadline for this, until
Wednesday 10:00pm UTC/GMT.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I ask that any strong objection to the above suggestion be
posted by Wednesday 800pm UTC/GMT. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
