[bestbits] A Day0 proposal, tentatively submitted as individual by submission deadline.

[Sivasubramanian M]

Dear Jean, Sheetal,

Taking your idea of inviting CS organizations from Malaysia and Philippines
(what are their names?) further, why not also work on inviting some of the
constructive CS organizations from within the host country with help from
the host, also from France? Why not seek participation from Mozilla, EFF
and other organizations that pay attention to global issues? What are the
global CS organizations who could bring significant value to the IGF?
