                      <div>While this does not constitute a boycott, we

                      </div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>We will continue to follow the process and to
                        demand the transparency and diversity required
                        in all areas of the IGF, and to work towards
                        strengthening it in the coming years with the
                        view to realising the true spirit of the IGF's
                        multistakeholder mission. More on our
                        previous/relevant position here: <a

                        There we say "Multistakeholderism, diversity and
                        inclusion should guide any new structure,
                        building on the IGF legacy thus far and be the
                        basis for putting the structure in function of
                        shaping the global internet governance agenda in
                        a way that effectively addresses the persistent,
                        exacerbated and new challenges derived from the
                        pandemic situation, including the increasing
                        power of some parts of the industry, in
                        particular the large technology companies, and
                        the lack of voices from more vulnerable and
                        marginalised groups."</div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>We do not want this to be seen as
                        discouragement to anyone planning to nominate
                        themselves. However, as a network, it is clear
                        that we don't have the support or interest to
