Izumi... that is not a strange proposal at all. Indeed, the Remote
Participation Workshop No. 126 discussion included a proposal that
an IGF be designed that could take place entirely through remote
participation: both presenters and attendees! This may not yet be
a practical application, but it does indicate that remote
participation -- or, perhaps 'local participation' (considering
that it is the physical meeting which is in a 'remote' venue), is
evolving to enhance the impact of 'remote' attendees.<br>
<br>
Semantics and definitions underlie verbal discussions, and RP is
not exempt from word play :) This year we emphasized 'engage
remotely, connect locally', and see that this is indeed a mobile
and global concept. Who is really local, who is 'remote'? Is there
a better way to describe 'remote' participation?<br>
<br>
The RP workshop discussion was excellent and moved from
applications and techniques to a more mature level of policy and
issues to concretely address access and inclusion. We will post a
transcript online for continued exchange in comments around the
transcript itself. I will post a link to the discussion once it is
uploaded.<br>
<br>
Again, congratulations to everyone, local and 'remote'... IG is
behind many important concepts and innovations, not only
multistakeholder (ism) meetings, but remote participation and
well.<br>

<pre>I also like to echo the congratulations and thanks, and also one
(strange) proposal for the next round.
How about, making things "upside-down"?
I mean at physical meeting of the IGF, how about making the
main speakers and participants all remote? So far, the remote
participation and participants are regarded as supplementary,
but not given a front-seat status. But think of online chat or
conference call where no one is physically present and taking
floors as main participants. Everyone is remote. At IGF, we can
have the physical participants there, but making most speakers
and interactions online, webcast, chat etc.
I think it's worth a try so that those who cannot come to the venue
still feel they have the main player, with deeper sense of
participation and ownership.

Great work by Ginger and MANY people who led and assisted in so many ways.
It really is beginning to feel to those who must participate remotely as if
you are really there, on the scene while still so far away. There’s more
work to be done on this, but thanks to the people who facilitated it in so
many ways this year. I was in North Carolina the entire time, but I feel
that between conversations on this list and on Twitter, the IGF
Secretariat’s provision of timely information, the contributions of
organizations like Cisco, the persistence of many individuals including
those who were the catalysts for hubs and remote moderators that it really
was a GLOBAL IGF.
Congratulations to all!

Remote participation at the IGF Vilnius 2010 raised the bar for remote
participation in international public policy meetings. Not in sheer volume,
although 600+ individuals is a good number, but in actual inclusion and
participation, with 33 registered remote hubs and dozens of remote
panelists, this IGF was indeed a global success. While there was successful
remote observation with excellent webcast, audiocast and captioning, there
was also the possibility of real remote participation for those who wanted
to comment, ask questions and respond, with the same privileges and
priorities as those who attended in person.
The next step will be to ensure that remote participants take advantage of
this possibility, and that remote moderators learn to transmit the interest
and personal power of the comments so that their impact is tangibly felt in
the meeting room.
An interesting (unforeseen) development was chat exchanges between remote
hubs on the WebEx platform, as remote hubs gave feedback to presentations or
comments by other remote hubs.
Pre-IGF preparations were better than ever, with strategy, planning,
training and information from the first 2010 OC in Geneva.
I would like to thank the volunteer remote moderators from the panels,
DiploFoundation fellows and the ISOC ambassadors program for their
engagement and precious time and energy; the Lithuania host for their
support and their tech teams; the IGF Secretariat for their support and
follow-up, DiploFoundation for constant backup, and my fellow RPWG members
for their year-round worry, work and dynamic involvement.
Thanks to all of the hub organizers for their work to include people from
all over the world in this meeting too.
The RPWG will publish a report later this year. We look forward to your
comments and suggestions.
Warm regards,
Ginger
