[bestbits] PRIORITY - TODAY -- Need for strong CS candidates for 2017 MAG

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi

I'd second those words and encourage civil society participants to
nominate themselves or others.

And I've already got messages from folks who are confused so
explaining once more

There are 2 MAG Civil Society nomination processes

A civil society organized via

CSCG process - Civil Society Coordination Group which forms a slate
from the 5 groups of CS - APC, Bestbits, IGC, JNC, NCSG
This ended on 9dec

and

IGF Website mantained by Secretariat - UN and UNDESA
Open to everyone, via filling a form and confirming the nomination
Until tomorrow
This is not a public process, the form data is sent only to UN personnel

Best

Renata
