[governance] Re: IGF Remote Participation in Internet Governance Forum in Hyderabad, India, 2008

[rafik dammak]

Dear all,

As Fouad has informed, a good possibility of remote attendence in IGF
Hyderabad is the creation of hubs.
It was an idea from civil society (www.igfremote.com) that has received
support from the IGF Secretariat. Please note that the process of
registration of new hubs is being coordinated by the IGF Secretariat. You
can have more information about the registration procedure in
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/index.php/remoteparticipation.

Best wishes!
