<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.

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
