<div><font face="Times New Roman">As discussed recently, a Working Group is
being set up to look at the Civil <br>Society Coordination Group (CSCG), and
whether there are changes that should <br>be made to improve its
capabilities.<br><br>A Draft Terms of Reference is below – this will be
considered by the Working <br>Group. Membership is open to people involved with
civil society <br>organisations, and you can join at <a href="http://internetgov-cs.org/mailman/listinfo/cscgwg" target="_blank"><font>http://internetgov-cs.org/mailman/listinfo/cscgwg</font></a></font></div>

note that, as it is intended that the group commence collaborative deliberations
as soon as <br>possible and complete its work by end August, you must join by
Monday, May 23.<br><br>If you are able to devote some time to this task in
coming months, and can <br>offer some expertise and inputs to assist us, we
would like you to work with <br>us on this important task.<br><br>DRAFT TERMS OF
REFERENCE (to be reviewed when working group is
established)<br><br>1. To examine the current
structure, membership and mission of CSCG, <br>and whether this
structure is the best way to ensure that civil society <br>representation
is representative (including geographically, politically, <br>and in respect of
gender balance)<br>2. To consider in this examination whether
a structure capable of <br>receiving and administering funds to assist with
civil society <br>representatives attendance and travel should also be
established<br>3. To consider workload and whether it is in
civil society’s best <br>interest to rotate nomcom membership rather than
continuance of one <br>representative group making all
decisions<br>4. To examine current selection procedures to see
whether improvements <br>should be made<br>5. To report back
to civil society networks with any resulting <br>recommendations by August 31
