[governance] Re: SMS questions to main session

Again, this is a little late in the day, but we have grabbed two dedicated 
mobile phones - one for French and one for English - to receive SMS text 
questions for the main sessions tomorrow.

The sessions are about Diversity and Access and since the common refrain is 
that Africa and developing countries only tend to have Net access through 
their mobiles, it seemed like a good idea to try to make it as simple as 
possible for them to interact.

It is not perfect of course (two languages, and using actual phones when 
some SMS software would be 1,000 times more effective), but it is better 
than not having it. Plus maybe people that don't want to get up and speak 
into a microphone will be encouraged.

Please spread the numbers as widely as possible. We have already stuck them 
on the main IGF site and the igf2006.info site. If anyone knows who to grab 
for the IGF Greece website, punt it their way as well.

In English: +30 697 680 6260
En Français: +30 697 182 1854
