<div class="">Hi Ginger <br class="">

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As far as I know, there isn't a joint civil
society/'Bestbits' meeting this year. However, a
few of us are gathering on the Sunday afternoon
(time & location TBC) to discuss inputs into
the <a href="http://www.un.org/en/digital-cooperation-panel/" target="_blank" class="">High
Level Panel on Digital Cooperation </a>(HLPDC)
process. <br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I had floated focusing the meeting on the
HLPDC with the groups that organise the civil
society coordination meeting a while back and
those interested and following the panel are
getting together informally to discuss our
inputs into the consultation. <br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If that's of interest to anyone please let me
know as soon as you can as I'll confirm the room
sometime this week.<br class="">
