<div>Below are the two nominations from Civil Society Coordination Group for
speakers for this years IGF opening and closing ceremonies. They were chosen
from a field of 20 names submitted from various civil society coalitions, and
have been forwarded to the IGF Secretariat. I must say that any of the 20 names
submitted could have represented us admirably, and that it was a tough decision
for the CSCG members to come up with 2 names.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Joana Varon (Brazil) – opening ceremony – <a style="href: "mailto:joana@varonferraz.com"">joana@varonferraz.com</a></div>
