[governance] Civil Society in Internet Governance : Road to WSIS+20

Tue Nov 27 05:39:49 EST 2018

I wasn't there at the meeting, but from what I understand based on the
emails sent during the IGF, it was for CSCG *groups*, not a formal CSCG
meeting per se. I'm under the impression it was meant to gather civil
society groups together for a quick meeting. Renata organised it, so she
can probably give more information about what exactly it was / was meant to
be.

Best,
-Michael
