[bestbits] Call for expressions of interest: 1net steering committee

[matthew shears]

My understanding from some time back was that we had the following:

4 (now 3) persons directly liaising with Brazil on the meeting (_not_ 
through 1net)

And to fill

5 civil society slots on the 1net steering committee (recognizing that 
civil society liaison for the Brazil meeting is as above).

And

Some number of civil society slots to be filled on some combination of 
the actual Brazil meeting committees (to be determined although there 
are suggestions that there should be 2 from civil society for at least 
two of the committees).

 From my perspective, and to echo a point made by Joana earlier, it 
would seem to make sense that those liaising with Brazil at the moment 
should probably be a part of the meeting committees to ensure 
consistency and coherency.

As to 1net, it might also make sense for one of the Brazil liaisons to 
be a part of the 1net civil society steering committee component just to 
be sure that we have continuity across the various committees/liaisons.

Finally, I realize that there is quite some debate about what 1net is or 
is not but I do believe that there is merit to participating and seeing 
where it leads us - as we have discussed before.  I would also note that 
there is considerable merit in bringing stakeholders together and to 
figuring out what pressing IG related issues those stakeholders can find 
commonality of purpose on and work together to progress.
