Closing Ceremony
Dear all,
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.
For now, let us congratulate the nominees, Milton and Burcu.
Best regards,
Mawaki
IGC Co-Coordinator and IGC Rep. to CS Coordination Group

Dear Secretariat,
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.
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.
It was therefore appropriate for this body to consider the question of
speakers for the IGF closing session as requested.
After calling for expressions of interest and nominations through the
various networks, the CSCG discussed prospective speakers and makes the
following recommendations.
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.
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.
SPEAKER NO 1
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.
SPEAKER NO 2
Our second speaker is Dr Milton Mueller. Dr Mueller is a Professor at
Syracuse University. His research, teaching and public service for the
last 15 years have been concentrated on the internet governance arena.
Please let us know if you need any further information or contact details.
Sincerely,
Ian Peter
Independent Chair, on behalf of the Internet Governance Civil Society
Coordination Group
