Thanks, Ian and everyone!
I cannot express how honored I'm for this nomination. I hope I can respond to the task with the bright it entails. 
As soon as nomination is confirmed I will share a pad for people to bring inputs. Will already be dreaming with some insights.
Just a correction in my institutional presentation as I'm not CTS for more then 1 and half year now :):
I'm founder director and creative chaos catalyst of Coding Rights, a women lead think-and-do tank with the mission to bring hackers, geeks, artists, researchers and activists together to protect, promote and mainstream digital rights and empower women on ICTs. More on @codingrights or codingrights.org (still temporary work in progress)
Thank you once again and have safe travels to João Pessoa. We will be waiting for you all to cheer with caipirinhas or fresh coconut water. 
Kind regards,
Joana

Below are the two nominations from Civil Society Coordination Group for 
speakers for this years IGF opening and closing ceremonies. They were chosen 
from a field of 20 names submitted from various civil society coalitions, and 
have been forwarded to the IGF Secretariat. I must say that any of the 20 names 
submitted could have represented us admirably, and that it was a tough decision 
for the CSCG members to come up with 2 names.
 
Joana Varon (Brazil) – opening ceremony – joana at varonferraz.com
 
Nadine Moawad (Lebanon) – closing ceremony – nadine at apcwomen.org
 
 
For those who don’t know them,
 
 
Joana Varon Ferraz is a researcher and project 
coordinator at the Centre for Technology and Society from Fundação Getulio 
Vargas in Rio de Janeiro
 Nadine Moawad is a Lebanese 
feminist activist and grasssroots worker who leads Association for Progressive 
Communication (APC)'s sexual 
rights work. 
 
 
We commend them both as informed excellent communicators to represent civil 
society. They have both been informed of their nominations.
 
 
 
 
Ian Peter (Independent Chair, Civil Society Coordination 
Group)
