> Sala: From the outset, in terms of how the IGC conducted itself during Bali, post Bali and towards urging cross civil society group dialogue (which occurred offlist), we were adamant that the group was opened to include others. At no time was there any attempt to be the solitary decision making voice. We are certainly not arrogant nor foolish to think for one micro second that the IGC has solitary decision making status. 

> I am actually heartened that IGC and BB did not both participate, since until there is evidence from studies like Nnenna's, we cannot really consider them separate entities.

Sala: I cannot speak for Best Bits and neither can I speak for the IGC. I will say that there is alot of room to have transparent mechanisms to show where people are. There is strength and diversity in terms of active participation in a variety of foras but where it comes to affecting the gene pool or the outcomes for selection, Nnenna's study will definitely come in handy. Before we think this is random and only attributed to this process, as far as Brazil preps goes, I also seeing it happening in other circles. There is a need for Version 2 of the Civil society selection process towards accountability and transparency that needs to be discussed but not right now as we have pressing things to do. One of which is concentrate on submissions as Jeanette had alluded to earlier.

>> The selection committee was formed from representatives of the networks of NCSG (Robin Gross), APC (Chat Garcia Ramilo), Diplo (Virginia Paque), and Best Bits (Jeremy Malcolm).  Ian Peter was an independent facilitator. Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) was involved with the process and the call for nominations, but when its representative and sole co ordinator at this stage (Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro) withdrew at a late stage it was not possible to provide a replacement in the short time frame. Hopefully these difficulties within IGC will be resolved for future efforts (with IGC co ordinator elections due now). However, with 3 ex-coordinators of IGC involved with the selection process we believe its interests were fully represented.

>> Calls from nominations were invited on the mailing lists of Diplo, Best Bits, IGC, NCSG and  other civil society networks. Diplo community undertook a process of narrowing its large pool of nominations to two  names before consideration by other selection committee members, and the result of the various calls from various networks was that 13 names were considered by the committee. The final names were arrived at by consensus of all the representatives involved.

>> All of these representatives were chosen for their capacity to represent civil society as a whole, not just their individual organisational affiliations. We believe these representatives give a good cross section of the various interests of civil society in internet governance issues.
