If you want to do something to help civil society be more effective in the internet governance space, this would be a good place for you to volunteer. Self nominations are perfectly OK and very welcome, or by all means start talking to people who you think would be suitable and start a process to nominate them. Nominations are due to close September 5.</div><div><br /></div><div>Details on how to nominate are below. Please give this some thought, as having good co cordinators here will make a real difference.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ian Peter</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
