On behalf of Adam Peake Dear Friends, Karolina Iwańska, ECNL https://ecnl.org/team and Kenneth Msiska, Forus International https://www.forus-international.org/en/profile-detail/191452-kenneth-harry-m... members of "The Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment (CADE)" https://cadeproject.org/cade-mission/ will be in Istanbul for ICANN81 and look forward to meeting ICANN's civil society community and others. I think you will see Karolina and Kenneth at various constituency and SG/AC meetings, but they will also hold a "get to know" session they would like to invite you to attend on Wednesday 13 Nov, 12:00-13:00 local Istanbul time. Room is CB1_Hamidiye. I think you will find the project very interesting. Funded by the European Commission (a competitive bid), the project will support civil society organizations to engage in Internet governance processes and capacity building around those processes. ICANN was named in the Commission's RFP as one of the target IG organizations for the study. A 48 month project, launched in January this year. More information on the CADE website. Please join Karolina and Kenneth next Wednesday lunchtime in the Hamidiye room. Please feel free to forward this invitation to ICANN participants you think might be interested. Warm regards, Adam Adam Peake ICANN GSE Europe
