Imagining the Internet will have a small crew at IGF-Hyderabad to record main sessions and the Dec. 6 workshop on the role and mandate of IGF. We will not be able to post these immediately, but they will be documented and made available. The Imagining the Internet team is from Elon University in North Carolina, US. It consists of Professor Colin Donohue and four Elon students. If you will be in Hyderabad, they may seek you out for an interview; they will also be recording individual interviews to document people’s views, asking the following questions:<BR>
<BR>
Who are you? Why are you at IGF? Is IGF important to the future of the Internet – why or why not? Should IGF continue beyond 2010? What is your greatest hope for the future of the Internet? What is your greatest fear? What can we do to assure the best future for the Internet and the world? Describe the future of the Internet in one word.<BR>
<BR>
Footage from previous IGFs is available:<BR>

Our goal is to document IGF as well as we can, to provide a historic record and to help inform future policy.<BR>
<BR>
We will also have a booth in the IGF Village, and we will have some T-shirts to give away to IGF delegates. Thank you to all who have participated in past interviews, and we look forward to seeing you at IGF.<BR>

<BR>
I am not sure if ALL the sessions at Rio and Athens were visually recorded - I do not find links to the speeches and presentations at the previous IGFs in the IGF website.<BR>
<BR>
Is is possible to propose to the host and to the IGF Secretariat that all IGF sessions - ALL sessions are video recorded and archived for the benefit of all for future reference ? It is more feasible at this IGF as there are bound to be video arrangement to record most of the sessions to feed the remote hubs. All that is required is to ensure that even those sessions that are not fed into the remote hub are recorded, the Q&A are recorded, the speech transcripts and the digital presentations are collated and stored. <BR>
<BR>
There may be a total of about 10 rooms, each room requiring two videographers, and the host is bound to have made arrangements for ten or twelve cameras already. If some attention could be paid to stretch this a little further to assign two video cameras positioned for the duration of the IGF, then we will have all of IGF on store for us to access any time. ( Even the participants would have difficulty attending all the sessions of their interest and are sometimes lost in the process of making a choice over what session to attend )<BR>
<BR>
The panelists's Talks and his Q&As could be AV recorded and collated with full slide presentation, workshop-wise, and sent to the workshop organizer to verify the accuracy of transcripts before uploading it on the Web.<BR>
<BR>
If not all the panelists, there are bound to be several panel presentations that would be of value. Is it possible for the IGC to send a quick note to the host / IGF Secretariat ?<BR>
<BR>
If professional expertise is needed, India's BPOs should be able to offer plenty of help...<BR>
