Actually you're quite right, I'm mixing up the deadline for the CSTD
enhanced cooperation questionnaire (which is in two weeks) with the (yet
unspecified, but Izumi is finding out) deadline for nominating panelists
to the High Level Meeting. So maybe we have longer, but surely not much
longer.

Establishing (or re-establishing - we had one in WSIS) a high-level
mechanism for civil society groups to jointly nominate candidates for
positions is very important, I couldn't agree with you more.  But it's
also ambitious.

Noting that thanks to your leadership the IGC has a workshop relevant to
this topic planned for Bali ("MS selection processes: accountability and
transparency"), it would be better, I feel, to come up with a proposal
and present it at that workshop.  I wouldn't want to rush it on account
of what is probably a minimally important pre-event in Bali.

However, if you disagree then by all means put your idea to the IGC then
I can put it to the Best Bits interim steering group and we can reach
out to the other relevant groups and networks too.  If it were me
though, I would rather wait.
