<div dir="ltr">On the Best Bits email list, the name of <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Dr Burcu </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Kilic, was proposed, who works for Public Citizen mainly on trade and access to</span><div>
<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">medicines issues. She is Turkish so she has a good perspective on the </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">political situation there. Several people on the BB list know her well and have worked with her, and there was widespread support for her nomination (more than fifteen messages). Burcu would be </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">willing to serve if nominated.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Perhaps it is wortwhile for IGC to consider nominating Burcu as well, and maybe even only her (there were no other nominations on the BB list either), as this would make maximise the chances that the voices and concerns of Turkish CS get heard within the IGF as well. So far, the space provided is extremely limited.</span></div>

but one thing I could not understand.<br>
<br>
How was the selection for opening ceremony slot made by MAG (or
whoever made it), but that of closing ceremony passed to CS groups
to give nominations for... Isnt is it a bit ad hoc, and I think
civil society should ask questions about ad hoc and unexplained
processes of public institutions..<span><font color="#888888"><br>
