<font face="Verdana">Hi Thomas, <br>
I hope you have seen the email on remote participation details as your
participation is important. If not, you or anyone else that is
interested in RP should email me privately, please. Marilia Maciel will
be present in Geneva, and handling remote moderation. I suggest you
prepare a short 'intervention' and send it to her to be read, or
arrange to read it yourself. <br>
<br>
It sounds like you have an excellent panel prepared. Have you written
to <a href="mailto:igf@unog.ch" target="_blank">igf@unog.ch</a> (copied on this email) to ask for an update? Anything
you can confirm before the meeting will facilitate the process.<br>
<br>
Good luck! Best, Ginger<br>
