CSISAC Steering Committee Announcement - New SC Members
December 7, 2009
The Steering Committee members of the Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council met in Madrid and online to discuss the appointment of the remaining Steering Committee members. After an in-depth discussion, the members agreed that in addition to appointing an 8th Steering Committee member, a 9th appointment was warranted to acknowledge EPIC's efforts to have Civil Society participation formally recognized at the OECD ICCP.
The Steering Committee members are pleased to announce the appointment of Rashmi RANGNATH from Public Knowledge as the 8th Steering Committee member. Rashmi and Public Knowledge were active participants during the Internet Intermediaries and Network Neutrality discussion. Although Rashmi is based in the US, she is from India and can bring the developing countries perspective to the work of CSISAC.
The Steering Committee members are also pleased to announce the appointment of Marc ROTENBERG, EPIC Executive Director as the 9th member. This is a special recognition for EPIC's role since the OECD 1998 Ministerial Conference in Ottawa to have Civil Society formally recognized as an OECD advisory committees. Moreover, this is also to acknowledge that EPIC didn't run for Steering Committee elections, due to its role as facilitating the first CSISAC Steering Committee Elections. This recognition is unique and will be granted for the first term only.
