<div>Remmy,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the world is full of surprises, but I would imagine this workshop will go
ahead, with 6 or so selected civil society participants, irrespective of CSCG’s
decision; so I would encourage interested civil society people to be prepared to
apply in any case.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>CSCG may not make its decision on whether to participate in the rushed and
partial selection processes until late Monday Geneva time. If it is involved, it
would seem that a parallel process will be necessary, and unless something
changes CSCG would have to complete its assessments while the nomination period
is still open; so earlier nominations might be necessary. We will advise late
Monday unless we get news before that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But irrespective of the CSCG decision – which is about ensuring that
processes it is involved with are transparent and can ensure the best possible
representation for civil society – it would be appropriate for this workshop to
have good attendance from civil society.</div>
<div> </div>

at</font></div>

<div class="yiv4019259981MsoNormal" 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></div>

this will be conducted.</font></span></div>
