I think no one noticed that we had a badly worded subject line - I only saw it this morning after I read your message. The remote participation was yesterday for the Open Consultation. It was far from perfect but it was available (mostly - the morning was better) - and I must say that the captioning was posted very quickly afterwards so that one could fill in the gaps.<div>

<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> <br> Olivier<br> <br>
