[governance] URGENT: Request for input on civil society representatives for the "Panel on the Future of Global Internet Cooperation"

[Norbert Bollow]

Dear all

Here's a quick update...

So far, in addition the following have been suggested, some in public
postings, some privately:

Anju Mangal, Grace Githaiga, Judy Okite, Nnenna Nwakanma, Michael
Gurstein, Thomas Lowenhaupt.

I have written to each of them to enquire about their willingness to
serve on this "Panel". So far, Grace Githaiga, Michael Gurstein,
and Thomas Lowenhaupt have replied positively.

Please note that the deadline for any additional suggestions is rather
soon.

In regard to the question that has been raised about process: This is
right now an ad hoc process aimed at making --in a way that is
coordinated across civil society networks as well as we can in a very
tight timeframe-- a demand for increased civil society representation
on the "Panel on the Future of Global Internet Cooperation"; this is
not directly related to 1net nor to any of the various committees that
will need to be formed in view of the Global Meeting in Brazil. I
certainly hope that it will be possible to set up a proper NomCom
process for those selection tasks, and that we'll find a way to do that
in a way that is again coordinated across civil society networks.

Greetings,
Norbert
