Hi Adam and all,<div><br></div><div>Regarding Remote participation, I believe it is important to raise three main topics that need to be organized early: a) technical resources on the ground (infrastructure, human resources); b) training for moderators and for remote speakers (workshop organizers need call the attention of the Secretariat if they plan to have remote speakers); c) call for hub registration and support to hub organizers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Bernard Sadaka from the Remote Participation Working Group has been assisting the secretariat with the technical aspects and he will be in Geneva for the OC and the MAG, I suggest that we contact him. Vladimir also has lot of experience with RP in EuroDIG and it will be excellent if he could help mainstream it in MAG.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course, the main points can be put on a concise input, but I also think we should always refer to the CSTD report on improvements. That recognizes the importance of the document and many of the points to be improved in RP are encompassed there.</div>

<div>On the issue of Remote Participation, please note that the IGC had widely consulted and collaborated on a Statement which is available via the IGC website.

<div>Please feel free to draw from this statement as consensus was reached on the matter etc as notably there are some aspects of our statement that is not included in the CSTD Report which should be raised in the discussions.</div>
