You know it's important when I give a full 24 hours notice! The U.S. Internet Policy event of the year is upon us Thursday in DC. The wisdom garnered from this, and other national and regional IGFs, plus the Intersessional work on Connecting the Next Billion, will all be aggregated into input to the global 2016 IGF, currently scheduled to take place from 6-9 December in Guadalajara, Mexico. 
 
Note that we are going over and above with remote participation in this one, with streams on both livestream and facebook, 100% captioning, and remote moderators in every room ready to grab and voice your #igfusa2016 tweets and fb comments.
