<p class="MsoNormal">Dear IGC members,</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to use this opportunity to bring to your
attention this wonderful news that we have a new Co-coordinator, joining me in
this role to support this group. Her name is <b>Bruna Martins dos Santos (Bruna
Santos), from Brazil</b>. She was chosen based on the following process:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A call for nominations for a new co-co was sent to the list
on April 27, 2017 and was supposed to close on May 10<sup>th</sup>, giving
ample time for us to carry the nomination process. Several reminders, as
promised, were sent by Arsene Tungali, the last one being a day prior to the
expiration of the nomination process.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please see pasted bellow the call sent, just for record:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

colleagues,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new roman","serif""><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new roman","serif"">It
is time to elect a new Co-coordinator for the Caucus, to replace
Analía who has already completed her two-year term, and to work with me
(Arsene). As you know, the IGC is operating with two volunteers called
“Co-coordinators”. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new roman","serif""><br></span></p>

would like to send my apologies for the time it took me to quick start this
process; as you know, we have been busy with migrating our server but also I
informed that I will be launching this once we have submitted our workshop
proposal to the upcoming IGF (which we did today). This is an usual process and
I beg you to bear with me. You will remember I did launch this call while we
were still working on the server but so many of you only saw it later on when
the system was restored back.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new roman","serif""><br></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We received the nomination from Ms. Bruna Martins sent to
the list on May 9<sup>th</sup> expressing her interest to join this voluntary leadership
position. Her statement of interest as well as her vision for this group are
pasted bellow for your record (at the end of this email). She received public expression
of support from Michael Oghia, Evelynn Namara and Renata Aquino and no one had
a negative view on her candidacy.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Given the fact that she was the only one, we will not
proceed to the next phase which was to organize a poll but I suggest we
immediately consider her into the role, as our new second Co-coordinator, serving
from May 2017 to May 2019. As a reminder, my term will expire on or around
February 2018 and she will be responsible to carry the election for the new
Co-coordinator.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

any comment on the process or anyone has a strong feeling about why Bruna
Santos should not be considered for this role in line of the above explained
process.</b> Please, do state why you think she will do great or not in your comment
(that can be sent to me privately or directly to the list). On Monday, May 15<sup>th</sup>,
I will send a final email based on the feedback that I will have received.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

SIG Group Youth Observatory and, therefore, an advocate for the inclusion of
youth in policy-making processes regarding Internet Governance. I have also
contributed to the IGF's Best Practice Forum on Gender and Access as an
independent researcher and one of the authors of the Young Latin American Women

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"arial","sans-serif"">I believe I'd be able to serve IG
Caucus as a co-coordinator due to the fact that I have been for the past years
a good advocate for the interests of Civil Society as I have been involved in
some local brazilian initiatives for ensuring the rights of citizens online
such as the Marco Civil da Internet and the organization of Arena NETMundial, a
side event for the NetMundial directed at the Civil Society representatives
that were in brazil during the meeting and that aimed to hold the same
discussions regarding the future of the Internet with the local community .
Therefore I believe that despite the fact that I am quite young, I believe I
would be a good co-Coordinator due to that fact that Im willing to advocate for
a more inclusive and equal Internet, and am also continuing my engagement
activities with the IG community.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new roman","serif""></span></p>

in any subject they wish to, outreach for the IG Caucus is a very important
thing for the list as its members are the influencers in all of the different
