<DIV>Below are the two nominations from Civil Society Coordination Group for
speakers for this years IGF opening and closing ceremonies. They were chosen
from a field of 20 names submitted from various civil society coalitions, and
have been forwarded to the IGF Secretariat. I must say that any of the 20 names
submitted could have represented us admirably, and that it was a tough decision
for the CSCG members to come up with 2 names.</DIV>

<DIV>Joana Varon (Brazil) – opening ceremony – <A
