[bestbits] CS meeting at IGF Paris?

Just wanted to tell you why we are not having an organized CS gathering
this year so that you can prevent it from happening next year.

We used to have a civil society day arranged before the IGF. It did not
happen this time because Jeremy (the initiator and cornerstone of these
events)decided not to participate in this year and I was not sure whether I
would make it either. Also IGF being cut short didn't help.
We need a better approach for civil society pre-events. Perhaps we can
shift the civil society meeting to pre-events for RightsCon or similar events.
They can be shorter and not a full day.

Anyhow, I think we should not drop the ball like this year because some of
us could not make it or thought they could not.
