>>>    <https://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/content/article/114-preparatory-process/1003-dynamic-coalition-on-public-libraries>
>>>    - I follow discussions on Bestbits and the Justnet Coalition Forum,

>>>    - For the last two years I have been one of the Co-coordinators of
>>>    the IGC.
>>>    - In 2014 I had the honour to be selected as the speaker from civil

>>>    pilot Stanford Deliberative Poll organised for this year’s IGF
>>>    - I have good relationships across the group that identifies itself
>>>    as civil society and also with those belonging to other constituencies.
>>>    This is useful because the MAG should finally aim for consensus across all
>>>    of its constituent groups.
>>>    - My own priorities are in involving ordinary end users in the IG
>>>    process despite barriers of disability, language and culture, gender,
>>>    education, geographic location, etc. This brings with it a strong interest
>>>    in the facilitation and improvement of remote participation.
