Hello Adam, Deidre, All,<br><br>thank you, very much, just to let you know, we are taking notes and indeed, the issues that you are raising are quite important.<br><br>1. on the PWD's and accessibility, DCAD forwarded recommendations to the Secretariat, bearing in mind, the possibility of holding the forum in three different venues. <br>
<br>I strongly encourage these discussions. <br><br><br>Kind Regards, <br><br><br><br clear="all"><h1 style="margin:0;font-size:12"><font size="1"><i>“Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible” Edwin Land</i></font><br>

Dear Adam and everyone,<div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

But for now I suggest we ask that remote access and accessibility of<br>
the Baku venue be put on the agendas of both the open consultation and<br>
the MAG meeting.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Accessibility in Baku for everyone is extremely important, not just as a practical consideration but symbolically for the IGF itself.</div><div> </div><div>Last year in Nairobi the electricity supply (or lack of it) seemed to be one of the main technical factors affecting remote access - something important to remember for this year. </div>
<div><br></div><div>On the human side the remote moderators are an essential link in the chain. The moderators in the workshops I 'attended' (from Saint Lucia) were a great help.</div><div>However - moderators do need some training in their function and therefore the earlier they can be recruited the better AND moderation needs to be extended as much and as quickly as possible into languages other than English.</div>
