>>
>> 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

>> 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
>>
