Arsene Tungali, 26, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a blogger and
activist. I speak fluently Kiswahili, French and English, interested in a
slot in the MAG 2016.
I feel that there is an under representation among Civil Society members
for the Francophone African countries and hope to add my voice to those
advocating for the underrepresented from these African countries and in
that way promote a more multilingual IG. I am a strong advocate for remote
participation; also advocate for increasing the youth participation at the
IGF and for including more sessions on child online protection and women’s
involvement in ICT, which continues to be a barrier in many African
countries. I strongly believe the Internet is for everyone and we need to
make sure everyone has the ability to participate.
I am familiar with the IGF, took Diplo Foundation IG courses and play an
active role in the Central African IGF and the African IGF. I also attended
and contributed to the IGF USA in 2015. I am an active member of the newly
created dynamic working to host the first IGF in the DRC. I attended the
IGF 2015 as an ISOC Ambassador, reported some sessions and blogged about my
experience in Diplo’s daily newsletter during the Forum. I contribute to
various IG lists and working groups such as with the Internet Governance
Caucus, the Youth Coalition on Internet Governance and follow discussions
on other lists.I am an active ICANN fellow. I am the Executive of Rudi
International, the only youth-led Congolese non-profit working on child
online protection and women’s participation in ICT issues. Since 2012, my
organization has convened the annual ITU’s Girls in ICT day events and is a
member organization that is part of their Child Online Protection (COP)
initiative across Africa.

Expression of Interest
I would like to express my interest in submitting my name for consideration
regarding the selection of Civil Society nominees for the Multi-stakeholder
Advisory Group (MAG). Kindly find a brief Biography about myself. I would
be pleased to channel and be a bridge for civil society interests. I have
good working relationships with the sectors such as the Public Sector,
Private Sector and the Technical community and am able to raise civil
society concerns and engaging in productive dialogue. One of my favourite
analogies about Internet Governance was provided by Dr Jovan Kurbalija when
he shared the story about the Blind Indostan men and the elephant where
each of the blind man only saw in part but together saw a greater whole.
This powerful imagery to me captures the conflicts and diverse perspectives
within the global internet governance. I am an advocate for an open and
free internet.
About Myself
I am Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro also known as Sala T. Originally from Fiji,
I am an Indigenous Fijian and passionate about development. I am an
Attorney at Law. I am Diplo Foundation Alumni and a European Summer School
on Internet Governance Alumni.
Work on Internet Governance
I founded a Think Tank called Pasifika Nexus (our major Project in 2016 is
to provide technical and strategic counsel for Parliamentary Opposition in
preparation for the debate of 26 Bills that will take place within 4 weeks
within Fiji’s Parliament)that is based in Fiji which is geared towards
sustainable development and have run several programs in Fiji and the
Pacific which have included hosting remote internet governance discussions
amongst Pacific communities, Internet Exchange Point Symposiums, Girls and
Women in ICT events, Youth Tech Camps, Regional and National Computer
Quizzes for Secondary Schools and participated actively in Access for
persons with Disabilities and work closely with the Pacific Islands
Disabled Persons Forum in advocating “access”. I also founded the Pacific
Digital Alliance for Women in ICT and am a keen advocate for Child Online
Protection and work closely with several Pacific countries in this area. I
have chaired National Cyber Security Working Group within Fiji and worked
as a national expert and regional expert in the area in devising Policy and
advising several Pacific Governments. I am also the World Summit Award
National Expert for several Pacific countries and participated in speaking
roles in Pacific Network Operator Group Events, Internet Governance Forums
(IGFs), Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF), Pacific
Regional Internet Governance Forums (PRiGF), APNIC and Pacific Telecom
Council meetings. From time to time, I provide Advisories to the Region on
matters of interest regarding ICT or internet governance issues. I enjoy
writing opinion pieces on Circle ID.
Areas of Interest in Internet Governance
Human Rights, Access, Critical Internet Resources, ICT, Cyber Security,
Gender
Current Key Roles Held
Currently, I am the President of the South Pacific Computer Society (SPaCS)
and an Executive Council member of the South East Asia Computer
Confederation (SEARCC). I am a member of the Pacific Chapter of the
Internet Society (PICISOC). I am also on the Advisory Council of BrightPath
Foundation. I also manage the Japan Pacific ICT Centre within the
University of the South Pacific.
Previous Capacities
In previous capacities, I had the privilege of serving as co-coordinator of
the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) for two years where I
replaced Dr. Jeremy Malcolm and served alongside Dr Izumi Aizu and then
later Norbert Bollow. Two organisations that I am a member of are both
accredited At Large Organisations ,namely SPaCS and PICISOC. I was
nominated and elected to represent the Asian Pacific Regional At Large
Organisation (APRALO) where I served on the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) where together with the At
Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and members of the At Large structure under
Dr Olivier Crepin LeBlond’s leadership participated in raising concerns
from a global public interest perspective on policy development processes.
Over the years, I have presented and facilitated workshops on Internet
Governance in various spaces locally, regionally and globally.

Dear IGC members,
I would like to seek your support for nomination as a civil society
representative for the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) of the
Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
I have been involved with Internet Governance (IG) since 2008 and have been
working to strengthen the links that bring Latin America and the Caribbean
(LAC) together since the early 1990s. I have attended every IGF meeting
since Hyderabad in 2008 (Nairobi 2011 virtually), and also all of the
regional - Latin America and Caribbean Preparatory Meeting for the IGF
(LACIGF), and sub-regional – Caribbean IGF, since 2009. My attendance at
these meetings was due to a broad range of funders to all of whom I am very
grateful.
· Within the IGF environment I have worked, and am working, particularly
with the Dynamic Coalition for Access and Disability (DCAD), with the MAG
Remote Participation Working Group, and the now dormant Coalition Dynamique
pour la Diversité Linguistique I have contributed to the work of the
Dynamic Coalition on Internet Rights and Principles and Dynamic Coalition
on Public Access in Libraries
· I follow discussions on Bestbits and the Justnet Coalition Forum, as
well as on the Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) list, and in other areas
where IG is discussed. I try to be aware of those issues that unite civil
society, as well as of those issues about which there are strongly
divergent opinions
· For the last two years I have been one of two Co-coordinators of the IGC.
· In 2014 I had the honour to be selected as the speaker from civil
society at the opening ceremony of the IGF in Istanbul.
· I was invited, in several different capacities, to be part of the pilot
Stanford Deliberative Poll organised for this year’s IGF
· I have good relationships across the group that identifies itself as
civil society and also with those belonging to other constituencies. This
is useful because the MAG should finally aim for consensus across all of
its constituent groups.
· My own priorities are in involving ordinary end users in the IG process
despite barriers of bdisability, language and culture, gender, education,
geographic location, etc. This brings with it a strong interest in the
facilitation and improvement of remote participation.
Thank you all for your consideration
Best wishes
Deirdre

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
