[governance] [bestbits] CSCG nominations for civil society speakers at IGF

[joana at varonferraz.com]

Thanks, Ian and everyone!

I cannot express how honored I'm for this nomination. I hope I can respond to the task with the bright it entails. 

As soon as nomination is confirmed I will share a pad for people to bring inputs. Will already be dreaming with some insights.

Just a correction in my institutional presentation as I'm not CTS for more then 1 and half year now :):

I'm founder director and creative chaos catalyst of Coding Rights, a women lead think-and-do tank with the mission to bring hackers, geeks, artists, researchers and activists together to protect, promote and mainstream digital rights and empower women on ICTs. More on @codingrights or codingrights.org (still temporary work in progress)

Thank you once again and have safe travels to João Pessoa. We will be waiting for you all to cheer with caipirinhas or fresh coconut water. 

Kind regards,

Joana

Below are the two nominations from Civil Society Coordination Group for speakers for this years IGF opening and closing ceremonies. They were chosen from a field of 20 names submitted from various civil society coalitions, and have been forwarded to the IGF Secretariat. I must say that any of the 20 names submitted could have represented us admirably, and that it was a tough decision for the CSCG members to come up with 2 names.

 

Joana Varon (Brazil) – opening ceremony – joana at varonferraz.com

 

Nadine Moawad (Lebanon) – closing ceremony – nadine at apcwomen.org

 

 

For those who don’t know them,

 

 

Joana Varon Ferraz is a researcher and project coordinator at the Centre for Technology and Society from Fundação Getulio Vargas in Rio de Janeiro

 

Nadine Moawad is a Lebanese feminist activist and grasssroots worker who leads Association for Progressive Communication (APC)'s sexual 
rights work. 

 

 

We commend them both as informed excellent communicators to represent civil society. They have both been informed of their nominations.

 

 

 

 

Ian Peter (Independent Chair, Civil Society Coordination Group)
