[bestbits] CS meeting at IGF Paris?

[farzaneh badii]

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.
