[bestbits] Time sensitive: Nominations for IGF closing and opening speakers by COB 07 November

[Grace Githaiga]

@Claudio, I totally agree on the need to have a local person. That has actually been the trend since 2011.  So +1 to Pauline.

Dear colleagues,

I would like to nominate Paulina Gutiérrez, from Article 19 office in Mexico. Paulina is the Head of Digital Rights Programme at the Mexico office, she's a lawyer and she's an active actor within the mexican civil society on human rights and internet.

Paulina is a great name for us here at Derechos Digitales, and we would like to point out the importance of having a local activists speaking as well as having a proper gender balance on the table.

All the best,
Claudio

Dear all,

A reminder that the deadline for nominations for CS speakers for the opening and closing ceremonies should be sent to myself/Poncelet by COB today 07 November. We would encourage you to do this openly, (e.g replying to the entire list thread with your nomination), but either way the deadline is today. Thanks!
Best,
Sheetal.

In keeping with the sentiment to keep CS nominations processes open, it will be a good start to make this process fully open - which begins with making all application info open (best to tell applicants at this stage itself) and also the process of final selection, including justifications etc... thanks, parminder

Dear all,

If you would like tonominate anyone (including yourself) as an opening or closing civil society speaker at this year's IGF in Guadalajara, Mexico (December 06-09), please send Poncelet (cc'd) and I 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.

TheIGF the Secretariat has asked for names by COB Thursday 10 November, - therefore we ask that you send your nominations by COB 07 November.

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).
