<p class="MsoNormal">The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) has forwarded the below two CS nominations to the IGF Secretariat for speaker spots at the Istanbul IGF's closing ceremony. As one of your two IGC co-Coordinators, I have been tasked to represent
this Caucus within that Group. Therefore and for your information, I am hereby forwarding the letter addressed by the CSCG Chair to the IGF Secretariat to that effect. At this point in time and in absence of well-developed and established selection procedures,
all the Group members have done the best we could to choose those we believe (for various reasons) to be the strongest candidates for this opportunity among all strong candidates. It is our intent and part of our post-Istanbul agenda to work on clearly developing
such procedures.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For now, let us congratulate the nominees, Milton and Burcu.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Subi Chaturvedi passed on to us your request for civil society nominations for speakers for this years IGF Closing Ceremony. Thank you for ensuring
that civil society is involved in choosing its representatives to speak on this occasion.
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">This request was dealt with by the Internet Governance Civil Society Co ordination Group (CSCG). This peak group consists of representatives of the
major civil society coalitions involved in Internet Governance issues, including Internet Governance Caucus, Best Bits, Association for Progressive Communications, Diplo Foundation, Just Net Coalition, Civicus, and Non Commercial Stakeholders Group of ICANN.
The group, founded in 2013, has a primary role to ensure a co-ordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies. This was accepted and respected during the NetMundial (Brazil) process, and by
the 1net community, and we will be pleased to also work with IGF in the future as regards civil society representation.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">It was therefore appropriate for this body to consider the question of speakers for the IGF closing session as requested.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="color:black">A</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">fter calling for expressions of interest and nominations through the various networks, the CSCG discussed prospective
speakers and makes the following recommendations.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Firstly, we believe that civil society must have two speakers. Just like governments or any other stakeholder group, we have more perspectives than
can be handled with just one speaking slot, and even with two speakers we feel we are under-represented.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">With this in mind, and bearing also in mind the multistakeholder principle that stakeholders should choose their own representatives, we submit the
following two names.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Our first speaker is Dr Burcu Kilic. Dr Kilic is a Turkish citizen who is an expert on legal, economic and political issues surrounding intellectual
property law, policy, development and innovation. We are pleased to be able to nominate such a talented speaker from the host country.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:13.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Our second speaker is Dr Milton Mueller. Dr Mueller is
