<div>I agree that there’s too much of a bar to remote participation – more than ever before for IGF - and it is definitely cutting people out. I keep getting notices that rooms aren’t available or not “active” when I can see on Twitter that people are posting
photos and conversations about what’s going on inside them. I have been watching Twitter instead – not even close to a good alternative.</div>

Remote Participation requires a separate registration apart from Registration in the
<a href="http://intgovforum.org">intgovforum.org</a> website and as a participant in the IGF. The rooms are password protected. Each room requires a separate? password </div>

Once in the room, I find that the audio does not work. ( I was told that the Conference room is new, so the organizers probably have some difficulties here ) But why would the rooms require an entry password? ICANN's remote participation, in comparison, is
set up for participants to join easily.</div>
