<div>The CSCG exists solely to ensure a coordinated civil

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<span name="Poncelet Ileleji" class="gmail-m_474140502188243385gmail-m_-5990544831823795398gmail-m_-277534307830952970gmail-m_355995883376086969gmail-gD">
