<div>Dear all, <br></div><div><br></div><div>It's been really great to
see the level of engagement in these conversations about strengthening
civil society coordination, and I know there's a lot of interest in not
losing motivation. The conversations have been premised on a general
interest in changing the current situation (namely Bestbits being inactive as a coordination network), and collectively finding ways to strengthen global
civil society coordination on the issues we work on. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully the
conversations so far, and the survey which gathered a broader array of
views, have been helpful. I attached a summary report of the survey in my last email. At the last IGF in Paris there was discussion of
holding a meeting at RightsCon this year. Before we do that however,
it would be good to discuss the responses to the survey and agree a way
forward. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm including a doodle below, with a suggested agenda. It

We had a rich discussion about the possible ways forward for Bestbits,
building on the previous conversation in December and the discussion on
this thread since.</div><div><br>
</div><div>In essence, there was general agreement that both Bestbits and IGC
have been facing challenges in fulfilling their objectives,
particularly when it comes to coordination and we agreed to circulate a survey to both lists to gather
perspectives on four suggested ways forward which were discussed on the call. It was suggested that this
survey with the broader communities feed into a decision on the future
of the platforms. The survey will be circulated shortly to both lists
shortly, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div>Sheetal. </div>

<br>
It was because IGC discourse had become toxic and dysfunctional, and<br>
people were dropping out. It had been a while since it had been able to<br>
agree on a joint statement. At the same time, the 2012 ITU WCIT was<br>
coming up, and being able to collaborate on joint action was important,<br>
so a few conversations between people both inside and outside of IGC<br>
resulted in them becoming the first volunteer steering committee.<br>
<br>
But then the same civil society politics that had driven the IGC into<br>
the ground started to disrupt Best Bits too. There were (misplaced but<br>
damaging) allegations about various participants having hidden agendas<br>
or not being transparent enough about their own funding. So whereas the<br>
original committee had been fairly lightweight and informal, pressure to<br>
adopt more formal mechanisms of accountability resulted in us investing<br>
a lot of time in creating a more elaborate set of rules and processes.<br>
As it turned out, this was too heavy and people weren't motivated to<br>
engage in these new processes, indicating that the more lightweight<br>
structure had probably been better.<br>
<br>
If there was a group of willing people who could resuscitate Best Bits,<br>
even without formal elections, I'd be all for that. But I don't think<br>
there is. I personally have given as much time to it as I'd like to<br>
give, because I'm focusing my energy on my new nonprofit Prostasia<br>
Foundation now.<br>
