    <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>That being the case, it would be desirable that the hubs

          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

          camaraderie which can be occasioned by remote participation at
          the big annual meeting.</div>

                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>

                            2. Enhance measures for broader
                            participation<br>
                            <br>

                            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>

                                think that we should look at RP the
                                other way round too. Currently it isn't
                                possible to make not being physically
                                present the same as being physically
                                present. Therefore we at least should be
                                clear about what are MUST HAVES and what
                                may come later.<br>
                                <br>
                                Also I think it is vital NOT TO conflate
                                RP with access for people with
                                disabilities. They are both separate and
                                important issues, and both of them
                                deserve individual attention<br>

                              <br>
                              My point is that the same solution is
                              equally useful to either community. I
                              wasn't making a judgement about which
                              community<br>
