Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
Now that there's less than one year before the ITU's major program
planning meeting, the 2018 Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-18), we'd
like to take the opportunity to organize a preliminary civil society
coordination meeting later this month to begin discussing our
respective strategies, share perspectives and experiences from past
ITU meetings, and begin collaborating on shared objectives. <br>
<br>
The meeting will be held at the IGF in Geneva later this month. It
will take place from <b>14.00-16.00 on Tuesday, December 19 in Room
E.3023 (Building E) at the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG)</b>.
There, ARTICLE 19 will be joined by Global Partners Digital, Public
Knowledge, Access Now, and the Association for Progressive
Communications (APC). We welcome all civil society organizations
that are interested in engaging at the ITU--and especially those
that are considering participation at PP-18--to join us. If you're
interested in attending the meeting but are not able to attend IGF
this year, please reply to this email to indicate your interest in
remote participation facilities.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much, and looking forward to seeing you in Geneva!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Mehwish<br>
