Dear Analia

Thank you, I am re-sending then my intentions to be considered for
endorsement and I take the liberty of sending them also in Spanish in
Portuguese for clarification.

Hi!

*  I have been nominated for the MAG (Multistakeholder Advisory Group)
for the IGF (Internet Governance Forum) of the UN and accepted it in
the beginning of January. This message is to ask for your support.

* My candidacy is about the context of internet governance debates
within sustainable and regional development initiatives. I was
nominated by a citizen of João Pessoa, Brazil, where the last IGF
occurred and part of the region I am currently living in. Bringing
regional voices to IGFs is a mission for me, I've also been to
conferences in Mexico, where the next IGF will be, and I am part of
Latin-American groups and engaged in their demands.

* My goals as a MAG member would be to overturn the lack of access to
IG initiatives by a great deal of CS organizations due to language
barriers, cultural differences and simple misinformation about what
the IGF truly is and how to go on to participate on it. I've seen
resistence, disinformation, discouragement upfront and how to deal
with it.

* Last by not least, prior to IGF in Brazil I've participated in other
IG debates in regional IGFs, CGI.br courses, ICANN events (all as a
fellow or similar initiatives) and for 15+ years I've been advocating
for the increase in connectivity in schools and universities and
professional development programs for teacher w/ technology.

So, again, thank you all in this community for the space in which to
put forward those plans and I ask for your consideration of these
efforts with the MAG nomination support

Thank you

Renata

ESPAÑOL

Hola!

*  Estoy candidata al MAG (Multistakeholder Advisory Group) para el
IGF (Internet Governance Forum) de la ONU y vengo pedir su apoyo.

* Mis planos para el MAG estan nel contexto de tener más debate de
gobernanza de internet dentro de iniciativas de desarollo sostenible
regional. Mi nominación fué hecha por una ciudadana de João Pessoa,
Brazil, donde el último IGF se pasó y en la misma región en que vivo
hoy. Traer voces regionales para los IGFs es una misión para mi,
tambien ya tengo experiencia en conferencias en México donde va a ser
el próximo IGF y tengo identificación con las demandas
latino-americanas.

* Mis objectivos como participante del MAG van a ser cambiar la falta
de participación en iniciativas de gobernanza de internet de muchas
organizaciones de sociedad civil por motivos de diferencias de
lenguaje, cultura o simplesmente falta de información de lo que es el
IGF en verdad y como seguir a participar en ello. Ya he visto
resistencia, poca información, desincentivo y ya he trabajado con
esto.

* Por último, antes de IGF en Brasil ya participé de otros debates de
IG en IGFs regionales, cursos de CGI.br, eventos promovidos por ICANN
(todos como fellow o iniciativas similares) y por más de 15 años tengo
luchado por mas acceso a internet en escuelas y universidades y por
programas de desarollo profesional de profesores c/ tecnologia.

Asi, una vez mas, gracias por conocer mis planos y por permitir que
venga a pedir su apoyo para esa nominación.

Muchas gracias!

Renata

PORTUGUÊS

Olá!

*  Estou candidata ao MAG (Multistakeholder Advisory Group - Grupo de
Conselheiros Multisetorial) para o IGF (Internet Governance Forum -
Fórum de Governança da Internet) da ONU e venho pedir seu apoio.

* Meus planos para o MAG estão no contexto de ter mais debates sobre
governança da internet dentro de iniciativas de desenvolvimento
regional sustentável. Minha indicação foi feita por uma cidadã de João
Pessoa, Brasil, onde aconteceu o último IGF e na mesma região onde
vivo hoje. Trazer vozes regionais para os IGFs é uma missão para mim,
também já tenho experiência de conferências no México, onde vai ser o
próximo IGF e identifico-me com as questões latino-americanas.

* Meus objetivos como participante do MAG vão ser mudar a falta de
participação em iniciativas de governança de internet de muitas
organizações da sociedade civil por diferenças de linguagem, cultura
ou simplesmente desinformação sobre o que o IGF realmente é e como
participar nele. Já vi resistência, desinformação e falta de
engajamento de perto e já lidei com tudo isto.

* Por último, antes do IGF no Brasil já participei de outros debates
de governança da internet em IGFs regionais, cursos do CGI.br, eventos
da ICANN (todos como bolsista ou iniciativas similares) e por mais de
15 anos tenho lutado por mais acesso a internet en escolas e
universidades e por programas de desenvolvimento profissional de
professores c/ tecnologia.

Assim, uma vez mais, agradeço por conhecer estas intenções e peço seu apoio.

Muito obrigada!

Renata
