>>
>> The IGF Secretariat/UNDESA application process closes Feb. 1st (not 31

>> letter of endorsements by then also.

>> Anyone who wants to, from any stakeholder group, can submit a nomination

>> The Civil Society Coordination Group - CSCG  channels civil society

>> members as possible, so that CS has a voice in the selection of our
>> representatives.
>>
>> If someone wants the CSCG to consider them for endorsement to the IGF
>> Secretariat/UNDESA MAG selection process, they must be endorsed by their
>> civil society representative group(s). In this case, it would seem that you
>> should ask for endorsement by the IGC (this list), and the IGC should, as a
>> group, discuss all IGC CS endorsement requests. The IGC co-coordinators
>> should submit the IGC endorsements through your representative on the CSCG
>> -- in this case, Analia.

>> In order for the CSCG NomCom to carefully consider the names from member
