I have also contributed to the IGF's Best Practice Forum on Gender and Access as an independent researcher and one of the authors of the Young Latin American Women Declaration: Enabling access to empower young women and build a feminist Internet Governance, an input from the Youth Observatory to the BPF Gender that addressed the importance of ensuring a safe online environment for women online.

> I believe I'd be able to serve IG Caucus as a co-coordinator due to the fact that I have been for the past years a good advocate for the interests of Civil Society as I have been involved in some local brazilian initiatives for ensuring the rights of citizens online such as the Marco Civil da Internet and the organization of Arena NETMundial, a side event for the NetMundial directed at the Civil Society representatives that were in brazil during the meeting and that aimed to hold the same discussions regarding the future of the Internet with the local community . Therefore I believe that despite the fact that I am quite young, I believe I would be a good co-Coordinator due to that fact that Im willing to advocate for a more inclusive and equal Internet, and am also continuing my engagement activities with the IG community.

> As for my visions for the IGC during the Term, given the fact that this list was my prior tool for accessing informations regarding Internet Governance, I believe on making it more participative through accountability. I think it would be important for the members to know who else is alongside them and also whom they could reach out in any subject they wish to, outreach for the IG Caucus is a very important thing for the list as its members are the influencers in all of the different regions of the globe 
> As for the 3 current issues, I believe that Increasing balanced participation in internet governance debates - gender and regional representations;  bringing youth into the internet governance debate;  interconnecting more civil society groups would be the three elected by me.

>>> Subject: New IGC Co-coordinator: Nominations open until May 10th!
>>> 
>>> Dear colleagues,
>>> 
>>> It is time to elect a new Co-coordinator for the Caucus, to replace Analía who has already completed her two-year term, and to work with me (Arsene). As you know, the IGC is operating with two volunteers called “Co-coordinators”. 
>>> 
>>> I would like to send my apologies for the time it took me to quick start this process; as you know, we have been busy with migrating our server but also I informed that I will be launching this once we have submitted our workshop proposal to the upcoming IGF (which we did today). This is an usual process and I beg you to bear with me. You will remember I did launch this call while we were still working on the server but so many of you only saw it later on when the system was restored back.
>>> 
>>> We invite members of the IGC to nominate candidates (please check with them first about their willingness to serve), or to nominate themselves as Co-coordinator to serve for 2 years, from 2017-2019. All you need to do is to send TO THE LIST your statement of interest (in the body of an email and attached in a .doc file) with the following elements:
>>> -          Your full name
>>> -          Your country of origin and of residence
>>> -          Anything we need to know about your work/involvement with IGC/IGF/Civil Society activities. (200 words max)
>>> -          Why do you think you can be a good Co-coordinator for the IGC? (Max 200 words)
>>> -          What’s your vision for the IGC during your term if elected? Pick up to 3 current issues we face in the group that you will consider as priority during your first year. (Max 200 words)
>>> 
>>> The nomination period will be open until midnight UTC on May 10th, 2017. After this date, we will circulate a resume of candidate's profiles and enable a voting link to all IGC members in order to elect our new co-coordinator. 
>>> 
>>> You can check duties and responsibilities on our website (www.igcaucus.org)
>>> 
>>> I do encourage all of you who wish to have a different experience with international advocacy or Internet public policy issues to consider applying. Also, we need to revitalize our group so we need someone very dynamic that will bring a push to support me.
>>> 
>>> Kind regards,
>>> Arsene
