<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;">The IGF has opened a call for nominations to attend a
Planning Retreat from July 14-16 at Glen Cove, New York. Details can be found
at</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><span><a title="http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat"><font><font color="#0000ff" style="font-size: 11pt;">http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat</font></font></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><span><font style="font-size: 11pt;">The IGF nomination procedures can be found from the link
above and interested civil society people should apply. </font><span><font><font style="font-size: 11pt;">Travel assistance *may* be
available for participants from developing countries and transitional economies
but cannot be guaranteed at this stage.</font></font></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><span><span><font style="font-size: 11pt;">CSCG is still discussing whether it wishes to become
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>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 13pt;"><span><font><font style="font-size: 11pt;">Apologies for incredibly short
notice: this was only announced on Thursday May 19 and we have been seeking
clarification on how this will be conducted.</font></font></span></p>
