[bestbits] Pre-IGF meeting on 4 December: an update

[Jeremy Malcolm]

Here is a short update about this year's civil society meeting ahead of
the IGF in Guadalajara.  The Best Bits website has the details, but
you'll need to click the "Latest agenda" tab to see them:

http://bestbits.net/events/joint-cs-2016/

Registrations have closed and we are unable to accept new registrations
now.  Three participants were able to be offered travel support, and we
apologize if you weren't one of them.

Remote participation will be available, but only to those who let us
know ahead of time that they intend to use it, and only to those who
identify as being from civil society.

We are in need of volunteers to assist with some of the sessions.  Here
are some of the sessions that I know about that could use volunteers:

* Priorities and tactics for civil society at IGF 2016 (someone to lead
this session)

* Shadow regulation and multi-stakeholder process criteria (a co-leader
or discussant)

* Trade and the Internet (for those wishing to be discussants)

* Open time for questions, discussion, and policy slam (for those who
have a project, idea, or proposal to present)
