CSCG CHAIR ARRANGEMENTS



The Internet Governance Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) is pleased
to announce that, following consideration of a range of names put forward
for the role of Independent Chair, it has agreed to appoint Virginia Paque.
As well, and at Virginia’s request, Ian Peter will continue on in a
parallel role as Co-Chair with her for 12 months, to allow for both a
smooth transition and load sharing over the coming year.

Virginia Paque has previous experience with CSCG, having been the
representative of Diplo Foundation on CSCG until recently, when Diplo asked
to withdraw because, despite its active involvement with and support of
civil society, it could not be described as a coalition of civil society
members.  We look forward to Virginia’s renewed involvement and ongoing
involvement in our activities.

We wish to thank everyone who put names forward for their interest, and
look forward to continuing to provide a conduit for civil society
appointments to outside bodies in 2016 with the guidance of our two
Co-Chairs.
