<font face="Verdana">Hi Olivier,<br>
Sorry you are having these problems. I know it isn't easy. Did you try
the CoverItLive or WebEx that are currently going on?<br>
<br>
We are working on this, and would be interested in your comments
privately in order to try to solve some of these problems. I am on
CoverItLive and Skype (would you like to join us on Skype?) My Skype is
gingerpaque. I use Mozilla Firefox.<br>
<br>
Right now we do have 66 readers, 17 on remote participation (I think
maybe, CiL, not sure) and we do not know how many are watching the
webcast.<br>
<br>
We would like your help to try to overcome these problems. Thanks!
Perseverance.... the only way will get better.<br>
<br>
Best, Ginger<br>

Hello Bernard,<br>
<br>
thank you, and thanks to all of the others (Patrik Fältström, for
example), who have tried to have some kind of remote participation
set-up. This is not meant as a criticism of anyone, just a provocative
remark to get some people to open their eyes, rather than bathing each
other in congratulatory, back-patting, empty speech.<br>
<br>
The trouble is that I've never managed to get the video/audio feed to
work.<br>
For one, they don't work with Firefox.<br>
And then it appears that there's not enough bandwidth somewhere along
the line...<br>
I can get Webex, Skype, Marratech, Adobe Meeting, and Jabber to work
perfectly, even with 2-way video, and yet, remote participation at this
meeting = nil.<br>
<br>
Whatever, remote participation, for me, currently rates at 0/10. ie.
non existent.<br>
<br>
Any remote participation system should be designed for 100s of remote
participants, and should not fail when more than 10 people connect
simultaneously...<br>
<br>
My question: with the whole point of the IGF being multi-stakeholder
public participation, why is this subject not being dealt with in a
professional way?<br>
The current arrangement is very poor. Sorry, I mean: dreadful. It makes
the whole IGF process a complete joke. <br>
Perhaps Dr. Touré was right when he used the term "waste of time".<br>
