<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have been talking here at CDT about various strategies for
communications and coordination during the WCIT. Lots to think
about here. Two items on this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First: Who is going to Dubai? We <i>really</i> want to
develop a list of civil society people who will be in Dubai for
the conference. We think it would be helpful for those attending
WCIT to know what other CS people will be there, and to develop
a rough plan for coordinating once they are in Dubai. Matthew
Shears, ISOC's former policy director who has been working on
ITU issues with CDT, will be in Dubai on CDT's behalf. He will
not be affiliated with any delegation. <b>If you or someone from
your organization is going to be in Dubai (with or without
delegate status), and you'd like to be in touch with other
civil society folks there, please send Matthew an email
letting him know. Matthew's email: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:mshears@cdt.org">mshears@cdt.org</a></b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second: How can we coordinate on public communication about
the WCIT? We know that many CSOs will be blogging, tweeting, and
responding to press inquiries about the WCIT as it's happening.
Given the relatively closed nature of the event, we know that it
may be difficult to get the information we need in order to do
this well, and that some coordination between groups may help
fill this gap. We also anticipate that rumors and misinformation
may become an issue, as different delegates may hear different
things, etc. In anticipation of this, we want to propose a group
call for next week. This will be open to any civil society
groups planning to report on WCIT, either from Dubai or from
outside the UAE. Given the size of these lists, I am setting an
arbitrary (though early, which generally seems best) time and
date for the call. Hope that plenty of folks can join -- we'll
take and circulate good notes for those who can't make it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>The call will take place on Tuesday, December 4 at 16:00
UTC / 11:00 EST. </b>A list of international toll-free
call-in numbers is attached. I will circulate this again, along
with a reminder, on Monday.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, please feel encouraged to reply to the list with
additional ideas, questions, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks all!</div>
