Dear all,
We've received a few RSVPs for the day 0 event, which is great! Please RSVP
here if you haven't already done so:
https://igcaucus.org/rsvp-0-day-event/
We will also publish the agenda on the webpage.
However, before we do, we don't have any facilitator for the break-out
group on 'Sustainable Development'. This is definitely an important area
but if we can't find a facilitator for the session we will unfortunately
have to drop it because Bruna and I can only be in so many places at the
same time :) As such, please do get in touch if you'd be interested in
facilitating that session.
Best
Sheetal

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> meeting (Global Partners Digital)" in the schedule but it is

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> *a GPD event. I just applied for it, that's all. It's an

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> open to all civil society, and I would suggest that members

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> should
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> be actively involved in shaping its agenda. It's been moved

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> from to
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> 13.30 - 15.30 pm following a request from the IGF

>>>> >>>>>>>>>>
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> When a few of us met on the sidelines of RightsCon earlier
>>>> this
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> year we suggested that the event could focus on sharing

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> key
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> global processes and perhaps planning for how to input into

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> e.g: the
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> High Level Panel, the UN First Committee processes on cyber
>>>> and
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> any others.
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> And we could also discuss any matters pertaining to the IGC.
>>>> >>>>>>>>>>
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> As such, I would be grateful if you could share your views

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> following
>>>> >>>>>>>>>>
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> - What topics and/or forums should we discuss at the civil
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> society
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> pre-event?
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> - Would you like to discuss any topics related to IGC
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> specifically?
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> - How should we discuss these topics (presentations, or just
>>>> open
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> discussions) bearing in mind we have only 2 hours?
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> - What outcome would you like to see from the pre-event?
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> - Would you like to be involved in planning the event (this

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> require a dedication of a few hours over the next two

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> can't say
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> how much)
>>>> >>>>>>>>>>
>>>> >>>>>>>>>> It would also be great if you could let me know if you're

>>>> >>>>>>>>>> to be there. I know this is dependent on funding for many of
