Well, from my experience the IGF webcast/chat functions have been
unusable. Now I recognise that I am not like "most people" in that I
am on the end of a dodgy PtP link that is 7 hops from a VSAT, so
obviously it's a bandwidth issue. However there are 2 things to
note;
1) much of this part of the world has no better connectivity thna I do
2) I CAN and DO participate remotely in the "existing Internet
administration bodies" events on this same link. This is not
surprising given the amount of experience (RIPE meetings webcast for
~5 years, others slightly less) AND the type of NOC they can run on
site.
Maybe IGF should look to them for BCPs on remote participation?
