    Dear all,<br>
    <br>
    Previously I sent around a save-the-date notice (with the wrong date
    initially!) for our annual pre-IGF civil society meeting.  Just to
    reconfirm, it will be on Saturday 16 December 2017.<br>
    <br>
    The organizing committee is now soliciting suggestions for the
    meeting agenda and volunteers, using this survey:<br>
    <br>

    <br>
    You are invited to complete that survey between now and 18
    September.<br>
    <br>
    As you will see, there is a suggestion that the overall meeting
    theme be "Private regulation of the Internet", because this is broad
    enough to include many different topics including private speech
    regulation, trade, the Internet of Things, and Internet standards
    and human rights.  When suggesting session topics, please try to
    relate them to this overall theme.  But the survey also allows you
    to suggest a different main theme if you disagree with the one that
    we have suggested.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks, and we look forward to receiving your responses.<br>
