Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
It's that time of year again: the ITU's Council Working Group on
Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet) has launched
a new open consultation on "Bridging the Gender Digital Divide".
The deadline for written submissions is <b>Saturday, December 23</b>.
You can find details on the consultation <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.itu.int/en/council/cwg-internet/Pages/consultation-oct2017.aspx">here</a>.
<br>
<br>
To that end, we and GPD would like to have <b>a </b><b>civil
society strategy call next week to coordinate </b>in
anticipation of the submission deadline. In particular, it'll be
an opportunity to discuss some of the ongoing trends regarding
gender issues that we've seen elsewhere in the ITU, and how they
may impact our strategic approach to the consultation. Considering
that Plenipot is just a year away, the outcomes of these
consultations will be especially important to the agenda for the
ITU's next study period. <br>
<br>
If you're interested in the consultation topic or the ITU, or are
already planning on contributing a submission, join us: please
fill out <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://doodle.com/poll/rubrqa834t9cffzb">this Doodle poll</a>
by Thursday (11/9), so that we can confirm a time for the call. <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
