              Shiva and all those interested in Remote Participation.<br>
              <br>
              Shiva, this is a great idea, and the solution we have used
              is to open Skype conversations. The whole remote
              participation group is probably too diverse and too large
              to work this way, but smaller groups open conversations.
              For example, I suggest that the Chennai group open their
              own Skype conversation so they can communicate between
              themselves, without the chat being seen on the IGF chat
              window. <br>
              <br>
              Remote moderators will probably be in another
              conversation, dealing with support issues that come up
              during the IGF.<br>
              <br>
              Other groups do the same, according to interests, to make
              the conversations easier to follow.<br>
              <br>
              Does anyone else have a solution/technique they use or
              suggest to implement this communication?<br>
              <br>
