>> 3. Previous attendee at IGF at a global or regional level.

>> 4. Willing, available and able to participate effectively and

>>
>> In considering names, our nominating committee firstly considered the

>>
>> We recommend the following 10 names as the new representatives for civil

>> application with further details pertaining to their suitability as MAG
>> members.
>>
>> *1.* *Sunil Abraham* (India)
>>
>> *2.* *Renata Avila* (Guatemala)
>>
>> *3.* *Oh Byoungil* (South Korea)
>>
>> *4.* *John Dada* (Nigeria)
>>
>> *5.* *Avri Doria *(USA)
>>
>> *6.* *Stuart Hamilton *(United Kingdom)
>>
>> *7.* *Lea Kaspar *(Croatia).
>>
>> *8.* *Jak SM Kee* (Malaysia).
>>
>> *9.* *Ephraim Percy Kenyanito *(Kenya)
>>
>> *10.* *Virginia Paque* (Venezuela)
>>
>> We also considered the remaining representatives whose three year terms
>> have not expired, and we conclude that the only civil society person whose
>> term has not expired is Fatima Cambronero (Argentina), We consider Fatima
>> to be an excellent representative, and have no hesitation in supporting the
>> continuation of her term of engagement. Accordingly, we also endorse the
>> continued involvement of *Fatima Cambronero* (Argentina) as the only
>> remaining civil society representative carried forward to 2015 MAG. In
>> doing so we note that there are no other continuing members of MAG who are
>> civil society representatives.
>>
>> In addition to the above names, the CSCG has considered a wide range of
