Society Coordination Group (CSCG)
Dear 
Peter,
We 
submit to you the five names selected by the Civil Society Co-ordination Group 
(CSCG) to represent us on the new Working Group on Enhanced Co-operation. Our 
names are:
Richard 
Hill (WEOG)
Lea 
Kaspar (EE)
Parminder 
Singh (AP)
Carlos 
Afonso (GRULAC)
Anriette 
Esterhuysen (AFRICA).
These 
were chosen from a total of twenty-five candidates submitted via our various 
networks, as well as directly to the Nomcom, in accordance with our Procedures 
outlined at  http://internetgov-cs.org/procedures. In choosing representatives, we were concerned to ensure both 
gender and geographic balance: but also to combine previous experience and 
knowledge in this field with the introduction of new articulate voices from the 
civil society grouping. We were also concerned to ensure that the range of 
political perspectives which exist within civil society were adequately 
represented.
This 
was an extremely difficult decision for us, given the range of excellent 
candidates available. But we believe the selected representatives will each 
bring a unique but representative perspective to your deliberations.
Biographical 
details for the selected candidates appear below (we will forward email contact 
details separately). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further 
information, or if there are any concerns about any of these 
nominations.

Sincerely,
Ian 
Peter and Ginger Paque, Co-chairs, CSCG
(The 
Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) exists solely to ensure a coordinated 
civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society 
appointments to outside bodies. It comprises representatives of the coalition 
members of the Best Bits, Association for Progressive Communications, Internet 
Governance Caucus, Just Net Coalition, and Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group of 
ICANN. Together the reach of these groups extends to many hundreds of 
non-governmental organisations, as well as a great number of individuals.
