held on 6-9 November 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the IGF Secretariat will
once again be providing remote participation facilities this year.<br><br>Many
of us within the IG Caucus community will not be able to attend and some of
us would require to invite others to actively take part of the debates.

debates, the IGF Secretariat has issued a call for the setting up
remote hubs in our countries/institutions as well as providing technical
support in the form of training on the remote platform as well as email
