[governance] What do you guys want in a IGF website?

[linda misek-falkoff]

Appreciating and Adding,

it is nice to see the balancing of factors being considered already.  Some
spotlight and extended news delivery but also interactivity & accessibility
in terms of creating as well as receiving - and presumptively for *differently
abled* persons as well in terms of communication modalities.  Some entry
points for those new to IGF, some for longer standing (or more technically
experienced etc.).

Wondering about possibilities for multi-lingual entry points, which could be
selectively achieved even in prototype.

Thanks for this interesting, in itself collaborative discussion.

*Respectfully Interfacing*, and sending best wishes, LDMF.
