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

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

The history of tech at IGFs is in my experience a pretty unhappy one.

As long as the IGF has little funding to stage its meetings things like this will always be difficult. Unfortunately.

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.

( 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.
