<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">Exactly, Deirdre, local hubs
should be part of a sustained, ongoing process, as permanent as
possible. But I do not think that one can/should impose any
arrangement, especially in a bottom-up and volunteer process.
People should be nudged into action, by showing that there is a
possibility to link their local discussions and concerns to global
policy making. <br>
</div>
<br>
Here a few possible reasons why hubs should be strengthened (in
cooperation with other existing networks/frameworks): <br>
- to connect with people addressing similar issues worldwide (policy
cross-fertilisation can be very useful; we feel better if we realise
that our local problems are not unique, as we tend to believe).<br>
- to connect with global (IGF) and regional processes so
participants see that their local efforts have some resonance in
larger policy shaping environments.<br>
- to move beyond immediate social circles (communities - especially
online - tend to look inwards and to gather people who think the
same way); hubs should encourage diversity. <br>
<br>
Local hubs and similar forms of e-participation may also help in
bridging the increasingly wide gap between local communities and
regional/global policy processes. <br>

<div><br>
<div>one of the recurring themes in the IGC space is that the
IGF is not and should not be considered as a meeting held once
a year to discuss internet governance issues. Rather it is a
continuing process of dialogue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That being the case, it would be desirable that the hubs
should exist within the same context - that is they should be
active all the time to extend the internet governance
discussion into the global community/communities. The IGF has
spread outwards into regional and local IGFs; now perhaps
micro-local, geographic community level IG discussion needs to
be encouraged, together with the wider ranging community of
interest groupings that can be facilitated by the technology.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problems come with how to foster and encourage
continuing discussion and how to aggregate and synthesise the
resulting ideas so that they can be shared continually and
considered by the widest possible community.</div>

</div>
<div>I seem to have an aptitude for dreaming impossible dreams
:-(</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But it should be possible to make a start by considering
the hubs as 'permanent' creations which attempt to keep the
discussion active throughout the year with the 'reward' of the
camaraderie which can be occasioned by remote participation at
the big annual meeting.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Ideally the hubs are up and running now and ready to
participate.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Following up on
Adam's invitation to discuss, here are a few comments on
IGF RP....<br>
<br>
It is good that we are moving out of Parento's formula
of having 20% of investment (people, training)
contributing 80% to the success of remote participation.
The CSTD paper is a good blend of summarising experience
over the last 6 years and paving the way for the future
development. The RP process proves the importance of
organic and bottom-up policy making. <br>
<br>
Here are a few more concrete comments:<br>
<br>
- One can see cross-fertilisation among different policy
spaces. ICANN, which introduced transcription into the
IG policy space, has effective RP. The WSIS Forum has
introduced also highly functional RP. Last week, INET
had both RP and remote hubs. Each policy space has its
own specificities, but there is a lot of possibilities
for learning from each other. At the next WSIS Forum
there will be a session on e-participation. Ginger will
maintain the tradition of RP-workshop at the IGF Baku,
as well. Diplo has been trying to promote
e-participation in other policy spaces in the context of
the project "20 years of e-diplomacy". The first
discussions are highly encouraging. <br>
<br>
- Since the "venue" problems are identified and will be
fixed, the main challenge will be to have effective
local hubs. The key contribution of e-participation will
be in linking global/regional IG debates to the local
policy context. The benefits will flow both ways from
global to local (understanding the wider policy context)
and from local to global (having reality check about
policy discussions). Local hubs should be part of the
local policy processes as well. I am sure that Ginger,
Marilia, Bernard, Vlada and other conveyers of local
hubs can develop the recommendations for the sub-section
on local hubs. <br>
<br>
- E-facilitation and local hubs are one the ways to
engage "silent majority". The more IGF moves beyond
traditional IGF circles, the more relevant it will be to
the world at large. Typically, the e-IGF attracts the
most active people on social media. But, e-facilitators
- especially in local hubs - should engage people beyond
the "usual circles". In the build-up for the IGF, local
hubs should facilitate discussion on the most pressing
local issues.<br>
<br>
- We should develop some sort of incentives for local
hubs facilitators. It could be participation in the next
IGF for the most successful hubs and publishing of
reports from the local hubs. Last year we ran a pilot
course on e-facilitation. The results were good, and
successful participants received a certificate, which
some of them used for e-facilitation in other policy
spaces. This could be also another encouragement.<br>
<br>
I reiterate Ginger's offer of Diplo support if we can
help in any way. I look forward to the continued
discussion.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I like the ideas listed below. I think that the
inclusion of social media should be more formally
introduced as part of remote participation so that
even if the sessions sometimes do not reach people
(for technical/timezone/bandwidth etc issues), the
conversations surrounding the sessions can reach a
much bigger audience even if the actual sessions
were missed. <br>
<br>
I also think that it may be useful to use the IGF
to gage opinions or insight on various issues from
not only IGF attendees but from those who cannot
attend. This be through surveys or other
lightweight but effective initiatives. The results
of this I think can provide some very interesting
insight. <br>

2. Enhance measures for broader
participation<br>
<br>
42. Remote participation is an integral part
of the IGF. While remote<br>
participation has improved, in particular
through remote moderators and<br>
hubs, there is still room for improvement in
the following areas:<br>
<br>
(a) The Secretariat should continue to
ensure the availability of<br>
adequate technical and human resources,
including remote moderators;<br>
(b) Chairs and moderators should give remote
and on-site participants<br>
equal recognition and the opportunity to
participate;<br>
<br>
(c) Low-bandwidth connections to remote
participation tools should be<br>
accommodated;<br>
<br>
(d) Linguistic diversity in remote
participation should be fostered by<br>
ensuring that online meeting platforms
interface with on-site<br>
interpretation;<br>
<br>
(e) Mechanisms that facilitate remote
participation, such as live<br>
transcripts, should be kept as an integral
part of the IGF. Such<br>
mechanisms are invaluable not only to remote
participants, but also to<br>
non-English-speakers and to people with
disabilities, whether they are<br>
on site or not.<br>
<br>
43. It is important to ensure the
accessibility of the IGF’s facilities<br>
to persons with disabilities.<br>
<br>
44. To improve participation in the IGF of
diverse linguistic and<br>
cultural groups, it is important to expand
linguistic diversity<br>
functions in the work of the IGF. For
example, this could be achieved by<br>
(resources permitting):<br>
<br>
(a) Increasing the translation of key
documents into United Nations<br>
official languages;<br>
<br>
(b) Exploring the use of simultaneous
machine translations based on<br>
realtime English transcripts;<br>
<br>
(c) Encouraging the use of any of the United
Nations official languages,<br>
not only English, as the working language in
some workshops.<br>
<br>
3. Improve the online visibility and
accessibility of the IGF<br>
<br>
45. A first step in this direction should be
to enhance the IGF’s<br>
website by providing interactive
functionalities and making it more<br>
attractive and inclusive. It should also
maintain its conformance with<br>
open standards and further improve
accessibility to persons with<br>
disabilities.</div>
