Dear all,<br>
<br>
I hope that you have all already saved the date of 4 December, the
Sunday prior to day 0 of the IGF, for the joint civil society
meeting that is the evolution of the annual Best Bits meetings that
we've been holding every year since 2012.<br>
<br>
For those who don't know, the IGF main venue has recently changed.
We held off announcing the venue of our civil society meeting until
we were able to secure one that was nearby, but I'm pleased to
announce that we just have. It is <span class="_Xbe">the Holiday
Inn Express Guadalajara Autonoma, which is about 15 minutes from
the IGF venue. It is also a recommended affordable venue for
booking a room to stay for the IGF.</span><br>
<br>
We are still putting together a program for the meeting, but you can
see a draft here, which is based on the responses to the survey
about the agenda that we circulated last month:<br>

<br>
</b>To see the agenda you need to click the "Latest agenda" tab. If
you have suggestions for changes, you can let me know, and I'll pass
these suggestions on to the other co-organisers for discussion.<br>
<br>
To RSVP for the meeting (required!) you can click the "RSVP" button
in the toolbar underneath the map. We expect to have a very small
amount of funding to assist those who need full or partial
assistance for travel expenses; this will only cover accommodation
though, not flights. You can indicate your need for this when
clicking RSVP. Please don't request funding support unless you
really need it, and please don't assume that you will receive any
support until you hear back about this.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!<br>
<br>
