Hence some of my confusion on the day, with different facilities in 
different rooms.

Similarly, along with some ambiguity in the numbering of the rooms on 
the webcasts (compared to the numbers on the doors) it wasn't clear if 
"middle-numbered" workshops were being audiocast or not [eg Nile Valley 
on day 3]

We had one of those moderators, but they didn't receive any back traffic 
(hence my original enquiry).

The video and audio available on the UN website is far better than 
previously available, and exceeds that from most Internet industry 
events I have attended.
