>>
>> *Anything we need to know about your work/involvement with IGC/IGF/Civil

>>
>>
>>
>> *Why do you think you can be a good Co-coordinator for the IGC?*
>>
>> 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

>> activities with the IG community.
>>
>>
>>
>> *What’s your vision for the IGC during your term if elected? Pick up to 3

>>
>> 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.
