    If not, then it will really confirm the contempt with which the IGF
    is held as a process.  There are Silicon Valley parties that have

    <br>
    Alternatively it could be time for the IGF to be reimagined in
    purely online form.  At least that would ensure that more attention
    is given to the remote participation experience.<br>
