Who wants to go to DC on Bastille Day? A couple of questions - is there an
interest in carpooling? Shall we organize a NYC viewing hub, as last year?
Reply to this email with your thoughts.

Myself, I will be going down to run the webcast.

This year the IGF-USA is excited to present a full day conference at the
Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington DC.
This year's IGF-USA will feature panels, keynotes, and plenaries discussing
issues vital to the continued growth of the Internet and increasing its
benefits for all. We invite you to take part in sharing ideas on connecting
the unconnected, privacy vs. security online, balancing human rights and
online content, improving broadband for everyone, and much more.

The Internet Governance Forum USA (IGF-USA) is a multistakeholder effort to
illuminate issues and cultivate constructive discussions about the future
of the Internet. It provides a domestic forum in the US to engage civil
society, government, technologists, research scientists, industry and
academia, helping to create partnerships, coalitions and dialogues that
demonstrate best practices and help move policy forward. Please join us for
a full day of interactive, informative policy discussions on of the moment
Internet governance issues.  Keynotes and panels feature thought leaders
from civil society, industry, academia and government.

As always the IGF-USA 2016 will be host to interactive sessions with
representatives from across the Internet community and is your opportunity
to engage with an array of stakeholders on issues that matter to you and
Internet governance as a whole.
