Just in case Sala is travelling, and since doesn't seem to have been a thread about this here, please note that there is an ongoing call for nominations for 5 civil society representatives to the steering committee of the 1net dialogue, and that the IGC is expected to be discussing this, alongside discussions that are going on in the other networks mentioned in Ian's message below.
The names are sought by midnight UTC this Sunday, and in case the participating civil society networks choose more than five different names, the coordination group that comprises one representative from each of them will try to bring them down to a consensus list of five.
I'm not trying to preempt Sala's liaison role but just didn't want the IGC to be unaware of this in case she is travelling and can't post to the list. So for those who are not on Best Bits, NCSG, etc but who have names to contribute, perhaps you could do so in this thread and/or to Sala.

> and just to be clear – this is for appointments to 1net steering committee, not for Brazil. CS will be doing its own nominations for Brazil, not through 1net, but not yet. Despite Adiel’s announcement elsewhere it is confirmed that Brazil has not asked for reps yet or set a deadline. So we can do that later.

> 5 people need to be appointed, representing all of civil society, for 1net steering. I am not sure myself, given this is an ongoing initiative quite independent of Brazil, whether we should necessarily keep all current reps for Brazil on 1net steering.

I would argue that the latter makes more sense, but it would be good to know what the coordination group has in mind.

I would also note that there is considerable merit in bringing stakeholders together and to figuring out what pressing IG related issues those stakeholders can find commonality of purpose on and work together to progress.
