>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Your country of origin and of residence*: Brazil
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Anything we need to know about your work/involvement with IGC/IGF/Civil
>>> Society activities*.
>>>
>>> I am an active member of the ISOCs SIG Group Youth Observatory and,

>>> online.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *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
>>> 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.

>>>
>>>
>>> *What’s your vision for the IGC during your term if elected? Pick up to

>>>
>>> As for my visions for the IGC during the Term, given the fact that this

>>> Governance, I believe on making it more participative through
>>> accountability. I think it would be important for the members to know who

>>> 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.
