<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> <font face="Verdana">Hi
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>
Thanks, best, gp<br>

<div>I am in the process of organizing a Remote
Participation hub at Chennai where the
participants are predominantly students, who
would learn more about IGF if they connect to
Youth participants from Diplo and other
institutions. In general all participants
physically present or otherwise can connect to
one another for informal exchange of ideas (as
in a chat window during an online meeting) in
addition to the formal exchange during
workshops. Such informal exchanges could be
even more productive than formal exchanges
during workshops (more business transactions
take place in coffee shops than in Board
rooms)</div>

</div>
<div>Can there be such a space which could
remain open during the IGF and if possible
beyond?</div>
