[governance] (CSCG): Call for nominations for civil society representatives to the IGF MAG

Tue Dec 6 17:04:27 EST 2016

Dear Deidre,

I do self-nominate for the CS MAG. Bellow my details and SOI:

*Surname*: Aspis
*First Name*: Analía
*Job Title*: Lawyer- Resesarcher
*Organization*: Aspis & Associates / University of Buenos Aires
*City of Residence*: Buenos Aires
*Country of Residence*: Argentina
*Nationality(ies)* (multiple nationalities can be specified, must be UN
countries): Argentina
*Contact E-Mail:* analia.aspis at gmail.com
*Contact Telephone number, including the country code*: 5491148611879

*Justification for the nomination, providing relevant background
information*
I am willing to be a CS MAG representative both for a professional and
personal reasons.  For professionals reasons because I do consider that
this is a role that, I can not only perform but also that I have the
experience to do so. In this sense, I have been for the past years deeply
involved in IG themes, not only as part of CS but also in the academic and
private sector, which gave me the tools to understand, debate and
participate in IG policies including different but integrative
perspectives. Accordingly, in the CS field, I have served as Co-chair of
the Internet Governance Caucus for 2 years, I am know Co-charing the
Internet Governance Civil Society Coordination Group, I am a member of the
group on privacy of the Freedom online coaltion (serving both as CS and
academica) and I am an active member of the Argentinean community on IG,
being the first hub for this themes that participated remotely in the main
IG fora.

>From an academic perspective, I am member of the Advisory Committe of the
Global Internet Policity Observatory (EU), I am member of different
academic groups such as the GIGAnet and the Cibersecurity Capacity Portal
and a very active researcher (mostly in Spanish) in IG themes. In the
private sector, I am a consultant for goverments and cs for IG themes and
related policies.

All these activies show that I do have a comprehensive view of what being a
CS MAG means: responsability, coherence, reasoning, inclusion,
developpment, and many other values that I consider that a CS MAG should
have, from a professional perspective. On the other hand, my personal
reasons to apply are simple: I do want to contribute with my passion and my
background to built something bigger than myself and that can impact on a
global network.

Best,
Analía Aspis

I will appreciate a confirmation of this SOI. Thanks!
Analía
