Thank you everyone for your overwhelming interest in the upcoming
Best Bits meeting in Bali that begins this Saturday! This email is
to give some logistical details about the event. We are now rather
over-full for the space that we have (and the catering that we have
paid for), so please no more registrations from now on, except for
remote participants.<br>
<br>
The two-day meeting has been divided roughly into four half-day
sessions, covering just about all of the most critical Internet
policy issues of the moment. Although the <a href="http://bestbits.net/bestbits2013">agenda</a> (particularly
for Day 1 morning) is still slightly fluid, we will cover mass
government surveillance, the Brazil/ICANN plan for globalisation of
Internet goverernance, Internet principles, and the processes
underway at WSIS+10 and the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation,
plus more.<br>
<br>
One of the important (and distinctive) things about Best Bits is
that we want the meeting to produce concrete outcomes. Thus every
session has a series of planned output documents or other
deliverables that we aim to produce. Please take a look at these
and come prepared to contribute productively and supportively.<br>
<br>
Where possible, work has already begun online. Links to working
drafts and background documents are available under the "Papers"
heading on the <a href="http://bestbits.net/bestbits2013">event
page</a>, as well as under the tab "Background papers". Please
read these in advance, and check for new additions as Saturday
approaches. You can also upload your own background papers - just
click the new "Upload" link near the top of the page.<br>
<br>
The meeting venue is the Mantra Nusa Dua hotel on Jalan Raya Nusa
Dua Selatan, Sawangan, Bali. The official taxi counter is located
outside the arrivals hall (exit arrivals turn right). You should be
paying about 95,000 rupiah to get to the hotel. Lunches and snacks
during the event will be catered, with thanks to those who
contributed money to make this possible.<br>
<br>
After we wrap on Sunday, we have a joint dinner with folks from the
Web We Want initiative at the <a href="http://www.letseat.at/NusaDuaBeachGrill">Nusa Dua Beach
Grill</a>. It is a private buffet at own expense, and transport
will be provided. Please bring 200,000 rupiah in cash for your meal
(this is about USD$17.60). If you will be at Best Bits and <b>don't</b>
intend to join us at the dinner (but please do!), then let me know.<br>
<br>
If you are a member of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/432718540170910">Facebook</a>
or <a href="https://plus.google.com/events/cn83oe9033vo0h57mr7qngb6ij8">Google+</a>
social networks the event is being shared there, and we are also on
<a href="https://twitter.com/_bestbits">Twitter</a>. The event
itself will also be <a href="http://bestbits.net/streaming/">streamed
on our website</a> (though some sensitive discussions might be
closed off - the openness of our discussions is itself one of the
items for discussion).<br>
<br>
Finally if you are not on the main Best Bits mailing list (this
seems to apply to 26 of you, who are bcc'd) <a href="http://lists.bestbits.net/wws/info/bestbits">please join</a>
as list membership is an indispensable part of participation in the
Best Bits network.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to tell
me or another member of the interim steering committee. For those
who will be in Bali we look forward to seeing you soon!<br>
