Dear All,

We at Columbia Global Freedom of Expression have access to the University’s conferencing system with a private Zoom account. I am happy to facilitate this meeting, as long as we can hold it at or after 10:15 AM EST.

Our Zoom account is accessible via internet, or phone (US and Intl).

Let me know and I can share the details.

Subject: Re: [bestbits] [governance] Civil Society Coordination Meeting - thinking 2019 ahead.

Would Google Hang out work for everyone? If not I can provide the virtual room but it might not be available for some participants around the world.

I suggest the following agenda:

1. What are the most important Internet governance issues that civil society should address throughout 2019.
2. What is the best way to address them? [issuing joint statements, issuing public comments, holding sessions etc, working with other stakeholders)
3. How to best advise Civil Soc MAG representatives on their functions and hold them accountable?
4. Merging BestBits and IGC?
5. Funding to support the coordination effort of the civil society network.

Hi everyone,

I can see if we can use our Zoom account. @Bruna – will you create an agenda, or should we do it collaboratively?

Best,
-Michael

Hi Bruna, all

Thanks for starting this thread and thanks everyone for their contributions so far. My apologies as I can only join the discussion now.

It is great that we have a scheduled meeting and i really look forward to it. I would encourage us all to contribute to the agenda setting and plan on joining the call. Unfortunately, I could not join you all in Paris and missed all different CS gatherings.

I would like to suggest an agenda item for the upcoming meeting : “Mapping of different existing initiatives and list civil society appointed representatives there. How can we better support them?”

The idea here is for us to start a google doc (before the meeting) where we list various initiatives/mechanisms such as the HLPDC, IGF MAG, etc and identify appointed CS representatives and then discuss how we can best support them, amplifying their voice and ensuring they receive and channel our contributions/inputs.

During the meeting on Dec 13, we can make sure we invite them to join the call and encourage at least one of them to share on the latest developments in their group and suggest ways the broader CS groups can support them.

I am happy to facilitate this item on the agenda if given the opportunity to do so and should we decide to have it on the meeting agenda.

Regards,
Arsene

Dear all,

Some of us discussed in both the Best Bits and IGC list the need for a Civil Society coordination meeting in light of the few opportunities we had to meet while in Paris.

I believe the idea for this meeting would be for us to discuss Civil Society participation and steps forward, as well as identifying a CS Calendar for 2019 and possible areas of collective advocacy. (and a possible meeting previous to RightsCon, next june)

For that I have set up this doodle<https://doodle.com/poll/23z58b8qz4mnn3gm> - with suggested time slots on the 6 and 7 or the 13th and 14th of december.  Please feel free to suggest agenda items and also to answer the thread with the date and time of your preference - and also to share it widely.

Best,
