[bestbits] FOR ACTION: survey on programming suggestions for 2017 IGF civil society pre-meeting

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi

Just answered this and suggested a totally different theme, geared
more towards Global South participation.

It is important to note that, in a long time, this is an IGF where the
Global South will not be represented as it was before and Civil
Society can have a role in discussing this and enabling
representation.

So I hope more people answer and have this in mind too

Best,

Renata
