The volume features 29 chapters dedicated to network infrastructure, connectivity models, privacy and cybersecurity, and emerging issues, and it also includes two prefaces by Vint Cerf (Google's VP) and Raúl Echeberria (ISOC's VP), and an excellent postface by Edison Lanza (OAS' Rapporteur for freedom of expression). The book celebrates the 10th anniversary of the South School on Internet Governance (the main Internet Governance capacity-building initiative in the region) that, last year, was organised at FGV, gathering more than 250 experts and fellows. The Spanish edition of the volume was launched at LACIGF and the Portuguese version is currently being developed. We are also studying the feasibility of an English version. I will share further updates on these latter versions as soon as possible.

The event, which this year is being held in conjunction with *iWeek *, discusses regional interconnection dynamics and content issues that are critical components of transit deficits. As a multi-stakeholder forum, AfPIF seeks to foster cross-border interconnection opportunities by ensuring that key players — infrastructure providers, Internet service providers (ISPs), IXPs, international financial institutions, and policy-makers and regulators are present at the event.

As the IGC representative on the NOMCOM12 to the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG), kindly refer to the information below if you are interested to be considered for a nomination by the CSCG. For those that are willing to give it a shot, do ensure you put me in the copy (compsoftnet at gmail.com) while submitting your nomination and don’t forget to comply with the criteria listed in the call. Goodluck! Please find below the details of the process by which all IGC members are invited to submit nominations to the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) as part of the 2019 elections for the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). Our procedures of appointments can be found at this link: http://www.internetgov-cs.org/procedures The CSCG exists solely to ensure a coordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies. A dedicated Nomination Committee (or NomCom) has been set up to facilitate this process within the CSCG. The NomCom is comprised of one (1) representative from our coalition members, namely the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Best Bits, Just Net Coalition (JNC), ICANN’s NCSG and the Internet Governance Caucus (IGC). The NomCom is coordinated by a non-voting chair (Poncelet Ileleji ), supported by CSCG Co-chair (Richard Hill). You will find all the necessary information below. The NomCom has been tasked by the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) to run the process of selection and endorsement of civil society candidates nominated for the 2019 IGF MAG selection round. Based on this information ( https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/mag-renewal-2019-general-guidance), this year, there are 4 seats available for civil society candidates, the CSCG has decided to endorse a pool of up to 6 names where the IGF Secretariat will choose from. The deadline for nominations to be sent to the NomCom is *September 03.* Thank you for being part of this process and please let me know should you have any questions. =========== *2019 IGF MAG Selection Round – Nominations Selection criteria* ============= · Candidates should have extensive linkages with civil society groups. · Candidates must be able to provide advice on the programme and main themes of the next meeting of the IGF. · Candidates must be able attend two to three MAG meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, in addition to the annual IGF meeting. · They should participate actively in the preparatory process throughout the year, through engagement in the online multilateral dialogue among MAG members. · Candidates should address these selection criteria in their statement. · Self-nominations are allowed.
