[bestbits] [governance] Ease of Remote Participation in the Brazil IGF

[Sivasubramanian M]

Joly,

Your desk looks more like a Remote Broadcasting Station than like a remote
participation station. Even with such a luxurious desk and New York's broad
bandwidth, you find it so difficult to participate. (The conference
facility is new, so the Organizers do have some unusual difficulties, but
nevertheless...)
