This is a call for nominations to represent civil society on planning
committees in preparations for the “Global Multistakeholder Meeting on
Internet Governance”, to be held in Sao Paulo Brazil on April 23 and 24
2014. It is important that CS take an active role in planning for this
meeting. We need informed, energetic people who will report back to us, and
help us understand the process, as well as give substantial input to the
planning process.



*• Committee No. 1:  Multistakeholder High­Level Committee (HLC)*



This committee will set the high ­level political tone and objectives of
the conference.  Committee members will engage on a global level with
stakeholders to encourage participation in the conference and maximize its
chances of success.



This committee will include 4 civil society representatives.



• *Committee No. 3:  Multistakeholder Executive Committee (EC)*



This committee owns the full responsibility of organizing the event,
including: defining

conference purpose/agenda, managing invitations, organizing input received
into a coherent set of proposals for the conferees to address, managing
conference proceedings and process, and directing all communications
activities pre/­during/­post conference. This committee will include 2
civil society representatives



The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is *midnight UTC*

submitted to various civil society networks will be compiled and assessed
by the Civil Society Co ordination Group.



Please indicate clearly at the beginning of your application whether it is
for the High Level Committee (HLC) or Executive Committee (EC) or both.





CRITERIA



The following factors (among others) will be used to assess the suitability
of candidates



1.      Able to represent civil society as a whole, not just your
individual civil society organisation(s)

2.      Able to work collegiately with other stakeholder groups in a
multistakeholder setting

3.      Able to consult widely with civil society groups and to report back
as the process progresses

4.      Ability to represent civil society at a senior level in these
discussions

5.      Broad knowledge of internet governance issues and the range of
civil society perspectives on these issues

6.      Capacity to participate assertively and creatively

7.      Includes perspectives/representation of groups typically
under-represented in global IG processes


*Explanation of process*

 The civil society coordinating group is a loose peak body that came
together this year to facilitate joint civil society participation in
several nominating processes.  It currently comprises persons from the most
active civil society coalitions or networks in the Internet governance
space, which in no particular order are the Internet Governance Caucus,
Diplo Foundation, Best Bits, the Non Commercial Stakeholder Group of ICANN,
and the Association for Progressive Communications.  The current liaisons
are Virginia Paque (Ginger), Jeremy Malcolm, Robin Gross and Chat Garcia
Ramilo, with Ian Peter as an independent facilitator.  Its current
composition is imperfect - the boundary between an organisation and network
is grey, and so is the scope of "Internet governance".  In particular, we
are reaching out to other civil society networks to further broaden the
inclusiveness of the group and have developed a draft set of criteria to
assist in this process.

Likewise, the process for gathering and reaching consensus is also a work
in progress, but progressive improvements to the process have been put in
place since the group's first nomination.  These improvements include
refinement of criteria for each member network to consider when putting
forward names for consideration.  Other suggested changes to the process,
such as the use of a randomly-selected nominating committee, have not met
with consensual support from within the group and so have not been adopted
for this nomination.  However, the coordinating group welcomes other
suggestions for improvement of the joint process.

Think about it! This is an important challenge and opportunity. If you have
any questions, please post them to www.diplointernetgovernance.org, or
email me.

Best wishes for the holidays,

Ginger
