<p>Dear All, <br>
</p>
<p><br>

<p>You will remember that we recently shared on this list a call to contribute to developing the
<a href="http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/policy-options-for-connecting-and-enabling-the-next-billions-phase-ii" target="_blank">

</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm pleased to share that the draft <b>IGF 2016 Best Practices</b> are now also ready and open for comment. Developed in an open and multistakeholder fashion, they focus this year on Gender and Access, Cybersecurity, IXPs and IPv6.
