Formation of the LACIGF Workshop Selection Committee

We are pleased to announce that the LACIGF Workshop Selection Committee (WSC) has been formed. This Committee is responsible for the selection of the workshops that will be held each year as part of the annual event’s agenda.

After an open call in which 74 people from 20 Latin American and Caribbean countries participated, the LACIGF Multi-Stakeholder Committee (CMPI) conducted a selection process considering experience and geographic, multi-sectoral and gender diversity, defining 12 people from the technical, private, civil society and government sectors who will make up the WSC starting this year and will serve terms of 3, 2 and 1 year according to the voting received. The Committee will have an annual renewal of one third of its participants.

CMPI and the LACIGF Secretariat thank all those who applied to be part of the CST, valuing and highlighting their interest in supporting this multistakeholder dialogue process. We extend a cordial invitation to follow closely the activities and calls of the Forum that will take place throughout this year.
