Fw: [governance] Call for Nominations - Brazil committees

[Qusai AlShatti]

Dear Ian:
I would like to put my name forward for Committee No. 1:  Multistakeholder
High­Level Committee (HLC). I believe that the experience I have gained as
a MAG member for the global IGF as well as participating in many activities
within the IGF itself allows me to contribute constructively to the
work of Multistakeholder
High­Level Committee. Furthermore, the efforts I was involved in to
initiate and launch the Arab IGF is similar to a great extent to the nature
of this committee and although it was on a regional level it can be
extended to global level.

I believe that the role of civil society for this particular conference
should not be limited to state its views and reflect its positions but also
to to ensure that every stakeholder's views and interest is included in
a balanced manner with a focus on what is best for the Internet user.

Furthermore, I support Adam's nomination for the Executive Committee.

Best Regards,

Qusai AlShatti
Kuwait Information Technology Society
