<div>Dear all, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We did not receive a requisite number of eligible nominations for this process launched last week. We are therefore unable to proceed with the nomination process for the Leadership Panel as CSCG.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While this does not constitute a boycott, we understand that the level of doubt and concerns around the Leadership Panel may indicate that there isn't the support required.
<br>
</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 href="https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/open-letter-interpretation-paragraph-93a-un-secretary-generals-roadmap-digital-cooperation" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">
https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/open-letter-interpretation-paragraph-93a-un-secretary-generals-roadmap-digital-cooperation</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 continue with this specific nomination process.

<b><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">inaugural Leadership Panel of the 2022 and 2023 Internet Governance Forum (IGF) cycles</span></b></a>.
<span>
<p> </p>
<p>Following several rounds of open consultations, the Leadership Panel is a response to the Secretary-General’s
<a href="https://undocs.org/A/74/821" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">Roadmap for Digital Cooperation</span></a>, which calls for strengthening of the IGF through, among other aspects,
<i>’’creating a strategic and empowered multi-stakeholder high-level body, building on the experience of the existing multi-stakeholder advisory group, which would address urgent issues, coordinate follow-up action on Forum discussions and relay proposed policy
approaches and recommendations from the Forum to the appropriate normative and decision-making forums</i>.’’
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
</span>
<p>CSCG, and for this process, this includes APC and IGC, will run a nomination process to identify nominees for the two categories:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Two [2] at-large members (distinguished or prominent persons who do not fall under above stakeholder groups) and
</li><li>Two [2] CEO-level (or deputy-level) representatives from each of the other three stakeholder groups (civil society)<br>
</li></ul>
<p>Please note, this does not mean we endorse the process or the mechanism itself. We will send a letter with the nominations that clearly reiterates our previous publicly stated positions (such as this
<font size="2"><a href="https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/open-letter-interpretation-paragraph-93a-un-secretary-generals-roadmap-digital-cooperation" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Open letter on the interpretation of paragraph 93(a) of the UNSG's Roadmap on Digital
Cooperation</a> and this on the <a href="https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/why-inclusive-transparent-and-accessible-global-digital-governance-more-crucial-ever" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">
future of the IGF </a></font><a href="https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/why-inclusive-transparent-and-accessible-global-digital-governance-more-crucial-ever" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">on the Leadership Panel/Higher-level MAG</a>), including the importance
of maintaining the MAG's current role and not supplanting it, the importance of diversity and inclusion, transparency etc and make clear that our submission of nominees should not be read as endorsement.
</p>
<p></p>
<br>
<p>We intend that our nominations reflect the above criteria. Please note that to receive a CSCG nomination for the IGF leadership panel you'll need to send us (me and Valeria and Bruna cc'd) the information required on the
