Dear friends

Next week APC staff and members will be in Sharm El-Sheikh, in the fourth
meeting of the Internet Governance Forum.

The Internet Governance Forum is the only space of its kind in the world –
it acts as a “pressure relief valve” for some of the most important and
controversial issues related to the global internet. The IGF is in its
fourth year of existence and next year could be its last.

We'll be running two workshops and launching two publications.

Here's a brief of the main issues at stake (produced by our dear Willie
Currie, Valeria Betancourt and the comms team) and our activities attached
or online

APC's newsletters, APCNews/Noticias/Nouvelles will be going out on Monday.
If you're not subscribed please visit the APC website www.apc.org and fill
in the subscription box at the top right hand side of the page.

There will be some on-site coverage for those of you following the IGF
remotely. Some members will be writing and have chosen Facebook and Twitter
as their preferred media, so:

Follow on Facebook (these pages were just set up last week - join us :)
