<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for this. <span style="font-size:12pt">I agree with the Day 0 meeting idea.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For me this feels quite deja vu-ish of the (2nd?) IGF in Hyderabad where the Dynamic Coalition on Internet Rights and the DC on Internet Principles had a joint meeting to discuss overlaps; we left with a Dynamic Coalition on Internet Rights and Principles.
Which eventually led to the creation and translation of the Charter on Internet Rights and Principles among other positive outcomes. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, I am optimistic an IGC-CSCG (sp?) can move forward out of this; ie among IGC's tasks going forward is to help energize also the cross-CS coordination right? </p>
<p>Which has to be done with BestBits 'Get it done' mindset and methods embedded; vs IGC's at its worst eternal faculty meeting feel (at times to this prof).</p>

<div>Dear all <br>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following our discussions, and some discussions among some of those of us who attended the last call four weeks ago (notes & participants here:
<a href="https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Bestbitscallfuture" target="_blank" id="LPlnk98510" previewremoved="true">
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Bestbitscallfuture</a>), see below what some of us propose as a hopefully straightforward plan going forward.
<br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>IGC and Bestbits list members work together to organise a day 0 event at IGF </li><li>Volunteers from both lists come together in an informal steering committee to organise the event - you don't have to identify as 'Bestbits'/IGC necessarily and can agree how to approach the organisation of the event however they see fit</li><li>Members of other lists are invited to join once an informal agenda has been put together
</li><li>Those who are present at RightsCon and interested in this effort come together to discuss preliminary ideas - to include the idea of focusing the day 0 event on reviving IGC (and many others that have already been proposed)
<br>
</li></ul>
<div>Although after all this to-ing and fro-ing it may sound like we've now decided to just organise a meeting again I hope you will agree that the discussions had so far, the interest and commitment to global level coordination, would be usefully served by
collectively putting together an agenda that responds to the interests of those committed to these efforts.
<br>

<div>Dear all, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for those who joined the call yesterday. Once I have the recording I'll send it around. In the meantime, you can see a short summary at the top of the etherpad. Apologies for its staccato nature but it should provide an overview of what we discussed:
<a href="https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Bestbitscallfuture" target="_blank">https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Bestbitscallfuture
</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In essence, we discussed the reasons that these discussions about civil society coordination have recently re-surfaced and those on the call reiterated the commitment to global-level coordination and the need to work together in a less fragmented way.
We looked at the survey results and discussed the fact that although about half of the respondents supported exploring a 'merger' with IGC, around half also thought expanding the mandate of the CSCG could be an option. However, those on the call mentioned
that the historical standing of the IGC is important to leverage and there is complementary between Bestbits and IGCs mandates. Therefore, we shouldn't lose that in whatever we choose to do going forward.
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We discussed that proposing something more concrete to the IGC would be helpful in terms of how a 'merger' could work. We were cognizant of the limited number of the people on the call, so we agreed to put something short together and then to share it
with you for your feedback before sharing it with IGC. At the moment, we're working on that simple proposal to share with you. I'll share it shortly. If anyone else on the call wants to chime in with more information please do.

<div>If you have any questions, please do let us know! <br>
