<div dir="ltr">Thank you Ginger.<div>This answers my questions around online participation especially since it wasn't clear when registering for the event a week ago.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Tomslin</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 March 2017 at 03:07, Ginger Paque <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gpaque@gmail.com" target="_blank">gpaque@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p>I'm hoping to see many of you at the OC/MAG meetings starting tomorrow...<br></p><p>Great news! Registration for online participation is now available
(and required) for the upcoming OC/MAG meeting, as a full meeting
participant (online). Users who have already registered as on-site
participants must re-register as online participants to access the
online system. <strong>I think it will be helpful to spread this information widely, so online participants are aware of the process. <a href="http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/" target="_blank">http://www.intgovforum.org/<wbr>multilingual/</a></strong></p>
<p>The process uses a quick registration for users logged in to the IGF
site. This one-click registration takes basic data, such as name,
Stakeholder Group, Nationality and Organization, got from the
registrant's user profile on the IGF website. Then, the system "invites"
the registered user to access the room with their registered name (so
as to be recognised, in order to take the floor). The system does
require registration on the IGF website as a user, a one-time process to
include your full information.</p>
<p>This system allows the site include the online participant in the
participants' list, ordered and classified, similarly as onsite
participants. Very importantly, it also allows inclusion of remote
participants in meeting statistics, including aspects such as online
participants stakeholder groups, etc. and for follow-up in panels and
discussion groups.</p>
<p><strong>Part of me balks at the requirement to register</strong>, but
it follows UN requirements (and common sense), and allows
identification of those making comments (same as in the room). Equal
footing has its trade-offs. I had to remind myself that less formal
events also require registration using Eventbrite or similar platforms.</p>
<p><strong>A heads-up: It looks like a webcast will not be available for this meeting</strong>,
due to technical and room resources/scheduling/setup. This means the
webcast will only be available through WebEx. The tech team is currently
trying to ensure that the webcast, audio, and live captioning will all
be embedded in the WebEx platform. The recording will be available after
the meeting, as usual, and every effort is being made to ensure that
future meetings include a live webcast.</p>
<p>Online registration will not close before the meeting.</p>
<p>It's an added step, and added control, but it is important in order
to allow online participants to speak up and be recognized -- meaning
they/we must be identifiable, same as onsite participants. . This is a
reasonable requirement for a UN level meeting, and will take another
step to institutionalising and legitimising online participation.</p>
<p>Much appreciation to the IGF Secretariat, and to Luis Bobo, for their work to include full online participation.</p>
<p>Now it's up to all of us to work on workshop design and strategy to make full use of online participation for inclusion.</p>
<p>I hope to see you online tomorrow,<br> Best wishes,<br> Ginger</p><div><div class="m_-6847816204558721451gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Virginia Paque</div><div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">DiploFoundation<br><div><div><p><i style="color:rgb(80,80,80);font-family:helvetica;font-size:14px;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:21px;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Upcoming courses: </i><span style="color:rgb(80,80,80);font-family:helvetica;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:21px;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;display:inline;float:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> Master in Contemporary Diplomacy; Education Diplomacy; Consular and Diaspora Diplomacy; Cybersecurity; Development Diplomacy; Economic Diplomacy; Language and Diplomacy </span><a href="http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=4c5460f299&e=bc0aff4eba" style="color:rgb(0,129,145);font-family:helvetica;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:21px;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>diplomacy.edu/courses</a><a href="http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=26d5253c70&e=bc0aff4eba" style="color:rgb(0,129,145);font-size:14px;font-family:helvetica;line-height:21px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank"></a></p></div></div></div><font style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px" size="1"><span style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:helvetica"><span style="font-style:italic"><i><i><a href="http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(35,71,162)"></span></a></i></i></span></span></font><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><span style="padding-right:16px;width:16px;height:16px"></span><span style="padding-right:16px;width:16px;height:16px"></span><span style="padding-right:16px;width:16px;height:16px"></span><div><i></i><br><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><b><i><span style="font-size:10pt"></span></i></b></span></div></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
