<div dir="ltr">Dear IGC members,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As some of you might be aware, there has been some
discussions around the merger of BestBits and IGC going on for
the past months. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Back in Tunis, <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="gmail-m_1815463328925078400gmail-m_-664807539564326249m_-2239115215437728688plusReplyChip-0" href="mailto:rightscon@accessnow.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">@RightsCon</a>, some of
us convened to discuss further steps for Civil Society
Coordination and that also entailed the merger debate. The
summary of the discussion, as well as the decision on closing
BestBits can all be found <a href="http://lists.bestbits.net/arc/bestbits/2019-07/msg00001.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">at the BestBits list</a>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Past this moment, theres a need to arrange a call to
discuss our next steps, including a Day Zero Event at the IGF,
later in November. Another agenda items are also reviving the
IGC website, IGC co-coordinators elections and our charter.
Additionally to IGC related subjects, there is also the need
to discuss a proper closure for BestBits, as well as proper
outreach in a transparent way and the possibility for members
to join IGC. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For this reason, <a class="gmail_plusreply" id="gmail-m_1815463328925078400gmail-m_-664807539564326249m_-2239115215437728688plusReplyChip-1" href="mailto:sheetal@gp-digital.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">@Sheetal Kumar</a> created
