involved in a parallel process of recommending civil society candidates. Our
involvement is welcomed by the IGF Secretariat, but we are concerned about the
lack of transparency and rushed nature of any involvement (which would also need
to be completed by May 31 on current indications, in parallel with nominations
still being received). We will advise further (within 48 hours) on procedures
that should be followed for those seeking CSCG endorsement if a decision is made
to be involved.</font></span></span></p>
