<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Yes, I know how important feedback on live performance is! Actually, I meant to say in my previous e-mail that I was experiencing difficulties in seeing video and hearing audio later in Quito time, after the meeting was well under way. <BR>
<BR>
Right now – 1 p.m. Eastern (New York) US time - I have no live media being delivered on the Ustream window, but I can look at the archived version of the morning. What I see is a still frame that is showing PowerPoint slides – the first one, titled Actividades de LACNIC, was on the screen for an extended period before the video started to move on to additional slides. The slides are accompanied by scratchy audio that is occasionally breaking up to the point where you miss a few words. This is the recording named “igf-lac 08/03/10 09:54AM.”<BR>
<BR>
Again, thank you SO much for your efforts!<BR>

<BR>
Thanks for your feedback. It is very important that we receive this kind of information, because the quality of the streaming is diferent for those who are in situ and for those who receive it from far away. It certainly depends on the conditions of internet traffic, backbones, possible bottlenecks and broadband in each country. It is important that you mentioned it because for us here in Quito the streaming is smooth, with some seconds of delay.<BR>
<BR>
The first day is also the most difficult, since problems always arise and solutions need to be found. It usually gets gradually better. Let´s hope that this will be the case. <BR>
<BR>
I am forwarding this message to the meeting organizers and technical team here in Quito.<BR>
<BR>
Please, continue giving us feedback through e-mail or Twitter (using #LACIGF).<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
<BR>

applaud all such efforts. I have been monitoring this webcast and so far -<BR>
by 11 a.m. Quito time, I have seen only unsuccessful attempts to stream<BR>
video. Only an occasional change in a still frame, if I refresh my browser,<BR>
and the audio comes and goes. Still I congratulate everyone participating in<BR>
trying to make this information available live. I just want folks on the<BR>
list to know that reliable livestreaming of audio and video is generally not<BR>
easily accomplished at this point in time without concentrated technical<BR>
assistance and an investment of time and money before, during and after an<BR>
event. Don't assume that webcasts are easy to accomplish. All that having<BR>
been said, let's be sure to keep trying to achieve live remote participation<BR>
as much as possible. We know that successful remote participation through<BR>
live video/audio CAN be done; I "attended" much of the Hyderabad IGF from my<BR>
home in the US. And many thanks to Ginger Paque and others for their work to<BR>
accomplish this access for all!<BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
