to add something on the on-going conversation about remote
participation. I'm going out on a limb and assume that the
concept of remote participation that you all were referring to
is in relation to remote hubs and how distant participants
(who are unable to attend IGF meetings) would be able to
remotely attend the meetings. Please correct me if I'm
mistaken on this assumption. Anyways, a couple of years ago,
Marilia Maciel, Raquel Gatto, Rafik D, Ginger P and myself
were part of the IGF Remote Participation Working Group (If
I might have forgotten anybody - my apologies) and the goal
was to make remote participation accessible. The remote hubs
were established and even funded in some countries as an
outreach initiative. We do have a Facebook page called IGF
Remote Participation Working Group. You can search it. The
page will kind of give you an overview and there are
initiatives on remote participation that have been established
since 2010. It has not been updated since 2011and I still get
notifications. But if it is something that you would like to
continue working on, that should not be a problem, especially
if Ginger is also taking a lead on it. <br>

Even before that there was an Online Collaboration Dynamic Coalition
that I ran for a while, which hosted the former IGF Community Site
back when the official IGF website was much worse than it is now.
Before the secretariat adopted Sched, it was the only place where
you could get a feed of the IGF events on your computer or phone,
and also hosted mailing lists for DCs and some other resources.
Some historical materials about it are here:
