[governance] What happened with the hubs?

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

At one of the workshops I participated in, the 'Development Agenda'
workshop on the 17th organised by Bill Drake, remote participation
worked extremely well.

This must in large part have to do with Derrick Cogburn's excellent
handling of the process, as well as Bill's sensitivity to the remote
participants, and the fact that it was a three hour workshop which meant
there was sufficient time to include the remote participants.

I also found it helpful as a panellist to have the remote participation
(Eluminate) interface open on my laptop which enabled me to interact
with the remote participants directly.

Personally I feel that while there is still a long way to go, remote
participation was much more effective this year than in the previous
IGFs.
