We have to find a way to separate the RP issue from the funding for physical presence issue.<div>They are DIFFERENT issues.</div><div>We should include acknowledgment of the RP work so far of the IGF secretariat.</div><div>
We should point to the work of the RPWG</div><div>We could point to the anomaly in logic of having meetings ABOUT the Internet without using the Internet as much as possible to extend the reach of the meeting.</div><div>
And we should try to do it all in 300 words or less so that the main thrust of our argument is unavoidably clear. There was a very concise proposal from the meetings last week.</div>
<div>Is this a reasonable approach?</div><div>Deirdre <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 February 2012 08:12, Imran Ahmed Shah <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ias_pk@yahoo.com">ias_pk@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Thanks Schombe for correction.<br>
<br>
You are right, these efforts were not made to eliminate the F2F.<br>
I think the sentence may be corrected as:<br>
<br>
". . . to eliminate the dependency of physical presence for a 'Face to Face' meeting by facilitating them . . ."<br>
<br>
Schombe I also agree and quoted that while advocating for the RP functionality (operational and technical), the provision for the physical participation as Face-to-Face meetings may not be eliminated. I also have quoted earlier that the travel support funding may be affected if the RP is supposed to the equal alternative for the F2F meetings.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
