As many of you know, plans for the Best Bits meeting came together
this year, following on from an informal meeting at the Asia-Pacific
Regional IGF (the background to which is at
<a href="http://igcaucus.org:9001/p/APrIGF-meetup" target="_blank">http://igcaucus.org:9001/p/APrIGF-meetup</a>).<br>
<br>
I have been shepherding the process along since then, but since Best
Bits has come together spontaneously, it is not something for which
there is any allowance of time or budget in my organisational
workplan - hence, I would appreciate some help from you.<br>
<br>
Here are the most important areas where help is still needed:<br>
<ul>
<li>Making a proper website for the event to replace the Etherpad
page (<a href="http://igf-online.net/bestbits" target="_blank">http://igf-online.net/bestbits</a>), including a confirmation
of registration form so that we can finalise our numbers.<br>
</li>
<li>Arranging web conference and other remote participation
options. A simple solution would be to utilise
<a href="http://www.ustream.tv/" target="_blank">http://www.ustream.tv/</a>, but a web-connected camera also needs to
be arranged.<br>
</li>
<li>Arranging a press conference for the Sunday afternoon. This
requires someone with PR experience who can liaise with the
press office at the IGF.</li>
<li>Providing background papers for distribution to the
participants ahead of the meeting. These are due to be provided
to Andrew Puddephatt by Friday 19 October at the latest.<br>
</li>
</ul>
For those of you who have supported the idea of Best Bits, please go
that step further and also set aside some of your time to help in
whichever of these areas you can. We now only have a month to go!<br>
<br>
Additionally, I am going to start two threads in which discussions
about the two output documents planned for the meeting can take
place. So your participation in those threads will also be
appreciated.<br>
