Dear Jovan, De, Anriette, all,<br><br>I write this as a member of the IGF remote participation working group, but not FOR the IGF RPWG. These are my views.<br><br>I think that this discussion on RP strategy and policy is extremely important, and should be a priority for the IGC and CS, as well as the other IGF stakeholders and the IGF secretariat. In particular, a policy for RP, including chairing and moderation, as noted by Anriette and Jovan, is indispensable, as is, I reiterate, the need to institutionalize RP as an integral part of the IGF meeting process, perhaps using Anriettes suggestions as a foundation. As Anriette notes, a key element is the presence of an on site remote moderator, a role usually played by a volunteer (Avri, myself, Seiiti, maybe Bill Drake? I cannot remember... and others) in preparatory meetings, and until now, coordinated by the RPWG in formal IGF meetings.<br>
<br>I have to admit, I was stunned by the lack of attention given to implementation of RP during the OC last week, particularly given the concern about similarly important details such as the venue/meeting room difficulties. I wonder if this is because RP is assumed to be an institutional part of the process, when in fact, it is not yet recognized as such? Do we take it for granted? Is that why we were amazed and appalled by the problems during the MAG meeting? I think those problems occurred precisely because RP is not an institutional part of the meeting process. RP is as indispensable as the live transcript has now become, and a remote moderator is as important as other organizational positions to make it work. <br>
<br>Without an on site remote moderator, there is no interface between the on site proceedings and the remote participation. No matter how hard the chair tries, he/she cannot be omniscient, nor omnipotent, controlling factors in the meeting room and on a global network. Remote panel moderators as a required element of each IGF workshop has shown that this role is indispensable.<br>
<br>The RPWG has never had a 'budget'. Fortunately many of us find funding for attendance at meetings for other activities, and are able to collaborate on site. I was particularly fortunate to be able to play double roles during my term as IGC co-coordinator and/or Diplo staff. For the most part, we are self-funded, sharing expenses among us. The IGF RPWG have had some funding from DiploFoundation, which was much appreciated. The host country and IGF secretariat coordinate funding for tech (webcast, equipment) at the meetings, but as you know, that is not an easy matter nowadays.<br>
<br>The IGF RPWG works to implement inclusive RP. We are purposely not a dynamic coalition or formal group, because we prefer to prioritize work on practical implementation, rather than policy and process. We are willing and happy to collaborate in any way we can, particularly in training materials, elaboration of guidelines and support of remote hubs. <br>
<br>We plan to submit input to the IGF Secretariat, and will post a copy to the IGC list as well for your feedback.<br><br>Thanks to everyone who has paved the way for progress on Remote Participation in the IGF--Jeremy, my present and past colleagues on the IGF RPWG, and others who have long pointed out this need, have given important impetus, and we must keep the forward momentum going!<br>

<div>Thanks Anriette for these key observations! The
role of the chair is essential. Good news is that you pointed to a
make-or-break point for RP. Bad news is that possibilities to
improve it are limited. We should prepare guidelines for chairs (a
good starting point could be RP Working Group guidelines for
moderators). But we have to be aware of the limitations. <br>
<br>
The role of the chair is already demanding in face-to-face
meetings, where he has to feel the room, give tempo to the flow (a
musical talent helps), be aware of the "power of the unsaid"
(quietness, absence, tacit communication). A good chair has ToR
for "diplomatic superman": assertive but not dictatorial, open but
not indiscrimante, <span style="background-color:rgb(255,153,102)"></span>, smart but not
intellectually dominant, aware of details but not too pedantic,
...and the list can continue. He needs a emotional intelligence.
Experience helps. Ultimately, he has to be credible. <br>
</div>
<br>
All of this makes training for chairing very difficult. I can
confirm this, based on Diplo's 20 years of experience in diplomatic
training. It is slightly easier in the formal diplomatic context
where you can train chairs how to use procedural tools (although
that could be a dangerous tool). <br>
<br>
What can we do for IGF chairs?<br>
- prepare guidelines as repository of collective wisdom with
realistic expectations about their effectiveness<br>
- start nudging chairs towards a new practice: highlight good
examples, where possible, select the most RP-friendly chair at the
next IGF meeting, collect feedback and experience. Aldo, our
resident contrarian, introduced the concept of nudging in our
didactics. It works wonders!<br>
- increase awareness in remote hubs and the general IGF public about
the role of the chair (pressure on this position, limited time
management). <br>
<br>
Now a slight zoom out. I am a strong believer in incremental changes
in social dynamics. The IGF RPWG has done an amazing job over the
last 5 years. Marilia, Bernard, Ginger, Raquel, Cha, Rafik and
others have made this possible. One of my images of the IGF meetings
is seeing these people running between workshop rooms (logging
kilometers of distance at every IGF). Ultimately, this is what makes
RP at the IGF unique and successful. Technology is important, as we
realised last week when it did not work well, but the human input is
decisive. We were fortunate that the IGF secretariat
and UN DESA were open to RP innovations. Every year the IGF RPWG
started with training of remote moderators many weeks ahead of the
meeting, they discuss with remote hubs, they nudge (again) people to
participate, they liaison with the secretariat, they and the
secretariat work behind the scenes....<br>
<br>
I do not know why the IGF RPWG is quiet in this discussion. I know
that they are modest (big achievements, low rhetoric), but they
should speak out more for the sake of improvement. Ultimately, we
should build on their experience. We, as the IGF community, have
neglected to recognize <i>enough</i> the great success of RP and
need to give it another push without making it too formal (a risk to
kill innovation). RP at IGF 2.0 needs mix of recognition, funding
(RPWG people are/were volunteers for work which is highly
professional) and the ownership of the IGF community.<br>
<br>
I hope to hear from the working group people! More will follow on
Anriette's idea for guidelines.....<br>

<pre>Hi all
Based on my observation at the meetings here in Geneva in the last week
I think one of the main problems is that meeting chairs need to play a
central role.
This is partly covered by this text that is in the document below:

<blockquote type="cite">

<pre>We do need the guidelines.. but we also need more formality to elevate
the status of RM. Meeting chairs should formally welcoming remote
participants, naming them so that everyone who is physically present is
aware that they are part of the meeting, and actively encouraging them
to participate.
Budgeting is also key. Does the RM working group have a draft budget
that can be given to meeting organisers? They need to plan in advance
for the additional expense involved.

<pre>Dear Sala and everyone,
I would suggest one change to smooth the argument - move the fifth
paragraph to follow the second - see below.
Otherwise I still believe that we need to make the "we must have remote
participation" argument as forcefully as possible, and with that in mind
I would put the suggestions - the paragraphs that say 'how' in a
separate statement. In this case the statement would close at paragraph
8, with paragraph 15 moved up as the conclusion. I haven't done that to
the document because no one seems to agree with me :-)
Best wishes to all and good luck to those on the front line in Geneva
De
1. We would like to reiterate that remote participation is a crucial
part of organizing the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and we appreciate
the effort to provide remote participation for the Open Consultation,
the Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) meetings, and the MAG meeting
this month – February 2012 – which was opened to observers.
2. The IGC believes that Remote Participation (RP) should be an integral
part of Internet Governance and IGF Policy Processes. It is impossible
to sustain an inclusive global policy process without effective remote
participation.
3 was 5. The MAG and IGF Secretariats should start working with the
host to ensure that real time transcriptions are available for all
sessions and not just the Main Sessions.
4 was 3. We would like to commend the excellent work of the technical
team from Politecnico di Torino, (The Polytechnic University of Turin)
which was originally brought by our colleague and former IGC Civil
Society Coordinator Vittorio Bertola.
5 was 4. However, we would like to point out some difficulties that
occurred with the system during the open MAG meeting. On the third day,
morning session, (the second day of the open MAG meeting), remote
observers were effectively excluded because they had no access to live
transcript.
6. Also MAG members trying to participate online had difficulty in
contacting moderators, partly because the moderators were serving more
than one function.
7. We strongly urge MAG and IGF Secretariats and ourselves to consider
the following for the future IGF organizing work and the IGF itself, and
work together to bring them about:
· Ensuring equal participation between online and offline participants
through planning meetings to give online and offline participants an
equal opportunity to participate and contribute to meetings.
· Ensuring that there is sufficient capacity and appropriate bandwidth
to sustain remote participation by liaising with hosts well in advance
to enable greater interactions from offline participants.
· Preparing a clear comprehensive guideline for remote participation
and its moderation and post session or meeting reporting for meeting
hosts, facilitators and chairs.
· Clearly advertising opportunities for RP in advance of all meetings,
with clear guidance for participants on the opportunities to engage
through RP that will be available.
· Always assigning exclusive remote participation
coordinator/moderators (who do not have other jobs at the same time, and
are responsible for interactions between the meeting’s physical
participants/current speaker, the Chair and the remote participants).
· Establishing a clear procedure that would encourage remote
participants to intervene. Such a system is desirable both for those
physically present in Geneva and those observing the meeting remotely.
· Providing as much interactivity as possible by giving remote
participants to interact and engage in meetings.
· Providing multiple methods – video, voice and text channel, as well
as real-time transcription and video streaming – of coverage of the meeting
· Enabling the meeting and remote participation through interactive
presentations access through RP.
· Creating a select Task force or Working Group created that has
representatives from the Government, Private Sector and Civil Society
that is dedicated to seeing improvements of Remote Participation and to
ensure the incorporation of critical elements that have been highlighted
to ensure improved remote participation processes.
8. Because only limited funds are available for face- to -face
participation, this issue is crucially important to all stakeholders
from all constituencies who are entitled to participate in the meetings,
and who wish to do so from a remote location.
9. We also encourage greater partnership between the governments and
private sector in enhancing remote participation.
10. We have to move beyond advocacy to listing and creating tangible
outcomes to make improved, stable and sustainable remote participation a
reality.
11. There are regions around the world where transportation is extremely
expensive and one such region is the Pacific which has 22 countries and
territories. Remote participation was the only way that any of these
countries could access the IGF.
12. However there is room to improve processes and create an IGF culture
where remote participation is prioritised through exploring tested
methodology.
13. The appropriate technical solutions need also to be explored as well
bandwidth and ensuring that there is uninterrupted power supply and
redundancy options where back up generators are critical to maintain a
consistent and seamless flow. The MAG and IGF Secretariats should also
ensure that there is sufficient and dedicated bandwidth capacity to
sustain the volume of traffic from remote participation.
14. Aside from having the appropriate technical solutions and should
also include the following:-
· Outreach;
· Mapping local and regional stakeholders;
· Coordinating with people on the ground significantly before the IGF in
a series of strategic roll out;
· Identifying how the private sector, civil society and governments can
be better involved in the remote hubs etc
15. We also express our support of the IGF RPWG which published
guidelines and recommendations for remote participation and IGF 2011

What type of assistance and/or support will be provided -
well, hopefully we'll find out soon from the Secretariat
and/or Google
Do they have a product which competes with the current market
leaders from Cisco and Adobe? What the IGF needs is something
which works, of course - historically their tools have been
allegedly very fussy about exactly what version of 'flash' or
whatever you have installed, and that sort of thing is half the
