I believe we have come a long way and the number of hubs registered (more than 30) shows that there is interest and trust. <br>
<br>In order to move on the direction you suggested (which I believe would be awesome) we need the involvement of the community. What we call today the remote participation working group are 5 people who multitask a lot :)<br>
<br>I believe there are already some interesting initiatives on this direction. We just need to connect the dots and avoid duplicated efforts. I would like to invite to take part on this conversation Jeremy Malcom, who has developed a platform he previously mentioned on the list, and Tim Davies, who is working on an aggregator of all the material produced during the IGF (from Webex chats, to blog posts and twitter)<br>
<br>Together, I am sure that much can be done!<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Marilia<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 2:48 PM, Sivasubramanian M <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:isolatedn@gmail.com" target="_blank">isolatedn@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div><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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello
everybody<br>
<br>
If you won´t be in Vilnius
for the IGF, it does not mean that you cannot take part in
discussions. Channels
for remote participation will be available to all those who want
to follow the
meetings and participate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Remote
participants can connect individually or join an IGF hub, if one
will be
organized in your home city. The complete list of IGF hubs is
available here: <a href="http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/remote-participation" target="_blank">http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/remote-participation</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It will be
possible to follow the videocast/audiocast of all IGF sessions
and to send
questions to the panelists. The official platform used for
remote participation
will be Webex. The links to join each session (or each “webex
room”) will be
available in IGF website prior to the meeting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are also
encouraging video questions from remote participants. If you are
interested to
make a question, the best option would be to let us know in
advance, so we can
test your connection/bandwidth capacity prior to the session.</span></p>

<b>The latest from Diplo...</b>
<br>
<a href="http://DISCUSS.diplomacy.edu" target="_blank">http://DISCUSS.diplomacy.edu</a> is a space for discussing ideas and
concepts from Diplo’s teaching and research activities. Our
activities focus on three main areas: Internet governance,
diplomacy, and global governance. In September, we DISCUSS: a)
network neutrality: hype and reality, b) the IGF experience: what
can policy makers learn from the IGF, and c) the history of the
Internet. Let us know if you have suggestions about ideas and
concepts that should be discussed.</div>
