<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Might it be an idea to see whether we can perhaps make joint
submissions and to train our collaboration muscles a bit ahead of
the plenipot?</p>
<p>I'd be very interested to hear who are planning to be at plenipot
and are willing to work on a joint submission.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Niels<br>

blogpost, Mehwish, which is excellent and really informative.
It's a complex subject being discussed in an opaque forum, but
the post is really helpful in unpicking the issues so thank
you!</div>

for our positions to be so consistent and clearly expressed.
For those who weren't able to attend, the CWG has published

submissions is 23 December. The physical open meeting will
take place in Geneva on 22 January 2018. GPD will certainly be
engaging and so perhaps as we get closer to the deadline, we
can look again at who'll be engaging (online and/or in person)
and coordinate.</div>

everyone,<br>
<br>
Following up on last week's discussion at the CWG-Internet,
A19<br>
published a blog post on OTTs and why we're concerned by the
ITU's<br>
interest in them. You can find it here:<br>

<br>
Looking forward to working together in preparation for the
next<br>
CWG-Internet open consultation in January, which will be
held on gender<br>
and ICTs. <br>

Best,<br>
