[Nadira Alaraj]

Dear Best Bits members,
During the discussions of the nomcom to the IGF MAG, CSTD WG on Enhanced
Cooperation and WSIS Forum High level track facilitators, many points were
raised to enhance the CSCG ToR.

Here I'm circulating Ian Peter email below to those interested to be on the
Working Group to review the CSCG ToR.
Please note, that the last date to join the group is on May 23.

Best wishes,
Nadira Alaraj

As discussed recently, a Working Group is being set up to look at the Civil
Society Coordination Group (CSCG), and whether there are changes that
should be made to improve its capabilities.

A Draft
​​
Terms of Reference is below – this will be considered by the Working Group.
Membership is open to people involved with civil society organisations, and
you can join at http://internetgov-cs.org/mailman/listinfo/cscgwg. Please
note that, as it is intended that the group commence collaborative
deliberations as soon as possible and complete its work by end August, you
must join by *Monday, May 23*.

If you are able to devote some time to this task in coming months, and can
offer some expertise and inputs to assist us, we would like you to work
with us on this important task.

DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE (to be reviewed when working group is established)

1.    To examine the current  structure,  membership and mission of CSCG,
and whether  this structure is the best way to ensure that civil society
representation  is representative (including geographically, politically,
and in respect of gender balance)
2.    To consider in this examination whether a structure capable of
receiving and administering funds to assist with civil society
representatives attendance and travel should also be established
3.    To consider workload and whether it is in civil society’s best
interest to rotate nomcom membership rather than continuance of one
representative group making all decisions
4.    To examine current selection procedures to see whether improvements
should be made
5.    To report back to civil society networks with any resulting
recommendations by August 31 2016
