[governance] IGF Remote Hub Creation Process for remote

[Marilia Maciel]

Dear Jeffrey and all,

I can see several reasons for you (and us all who are concerned) to get
involved in this matter. First of all, the hubs are a bottom up proposal,
that genuinely comes from civil society. Any action that helps to improve it
and move it forward helps the empowerment of civil society as a whole and to
move us towards a more balanced IG debate.

Secondly, the hubs aim to include people that would otherwise be excluded
from the IGF Hyderabad debate: people that are not able to cover travel
expenses, academic communities, individuals, etc. The idea is that these
hubs go even further, and serve as a starting point to a (necessary)
discussion of the IGF debates from a local perspective.

Thirdly, I believe that a project with this scope and that has been proposed
by civil society should not be ignored by the community on this list and
"conveniently" be left to the sole responsibility of the Secretariat. Each
of us should be interested to improve this project not only as possible
future users of remote channels of participation, but also as a concerned
and united community that helps one another initiatives.

Your concern about privacy is legitimate and it would be very valuable to
count on your support and expertise to suggest improvements. Btw, anyone
interested on the project can join a discussion list in

Best regards
