Dear All,

Last year in Istanbul, I had the privilege of representing civil society at the closing ceremony. A million thanks again for the opportunity. 

This year, since we are in Brazil, wouldnt it be great to have someone from Brazil to represent us? 

That's why, I want to nominate our own Carolina Rossini. She doesn't need an introduction, she has been known and loved by many for years and she is one of the most influential women in our community, who is also a proud Brazilian. She would represent
 us very well. 

Cheers, 
Burcu

Unfortunately, I also will not be able to attend IGF. 

Visa is becoming a hurdle yet again. Brazilian embassy is taking very long time to process visas and it is impossible to surrender passport with them for 3-4 weeks. However, four other Program Team members from Bytes for All will be there.

I second Renata's suggestions and also wish to nominate Anriette, APC (globally recognized for her amazing work this year) and Dr. Anja Kovacs from Internet Democracy Project.

Best wishes and regards

Shahzad

I am sadly not attending IGF this year but I will like to nominate Nnenna
for either the closing or opening remarks. As she is well known voice in
Brazil and to Dilma, perhaps she could remind her of her commitments when
they both shared stage at the opening of Net Mundial, to honour those.

I will also like to nominate Paz Peña from Derechos Digitales and Maira
Sutton (if she is attending) from EFF, who has been constantly advocating
to bring the copyright reform and the issues around trade agreements.

I think it will be very encouraging to have as many women from the global
south (as the underrepresented group in all areas in politics, globally)
speaking on behalf of civil society. Our community has such a fine and
active group of women.

I will miss you all,

Renata

Dear all,

If you would like to nominate anyone (including yourself) as an opening
or closing civil society speaker at this year's IGF, please send me or
the list your nomination with a short statement of the reason for the
nomination, and whether the person (if not yourself) has agreed to be
nominated.  Any nominations given will be briefly discussed among the
civil society coordination group (which contains reps of all the main
civil society networks in Internet governance, including us).  The IGF
the Secretariat has asked for names by Wednesday 28th, which means that
there is very little time - therefore I ask that you send your
nominations within 48 hours.

Many thanks!
