[governance] IGC meeting in Istanbul

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Note - if paying for webhosting is the only financial transaction you expect to make, ever, for IGC, then it would be easier for any individual to pay for the hosting from his personal card.

Non profit tax exempt status lets you receive funding for, for example, co co travel, day to day expenses of operating IGC etc, but there is of course a bit (ha) of bookkeeping you will be stuck with.

>>> We just received confirmation that  the IGC has been allocated Bilateral Room 1 (Rumeli -1 Level / Room 9)  for Friday, 5 September, 12.30 - 14.00 for our meeting in part due to lack of availability of an adequate time slot on an earlier day in the week. On the other hand, a meeting on the last day will also give us an opportunity to share impressions of this year's IGF.
>>> 
>>> We are proposing to add to the agenda the web-hosting for the IGC, and an appropriate arrangement to hold IGC funds. If you won't be present at the meeting could you please send any suggestions you may have? We can brainstorm possible solutions for presentation to the list for discussion and approval.
>>> 
>>> Therefore the agenda now looks like:
>>> Way forward for the IGC (with possible action items for re-focusing and re-energizing IGC) 
>>> Web hosting arrangements
>>> Alternative to Paypal for IGC funds
>>> Review of this year's IGF from a civil society perspective
>>> 
>>> Looking forward to seeing you there
