<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear all, <br>
<br>
I am writing to share with you the first case study in a new experience bank, "Advocacy Bytes", which records case studies of civil society groups engaging in internet governance processes, in order to help support more strategic and effective civil society
engagement.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
The aim is both to provide a useful tool for civil society engagement and to record an alternative history of internet governance – seen from below, rather than through the narrow lens of statecraft and diplomacy and we will be adding more case studies during
the course of the year.<br>
<br>
We invite submissions from civil society working in all corners of internet governance to contribute to the bank - if you'd like to get involved, in whatever way, please do get in touch. Any feedback is of course welcome!
