[governance] Re: Remote Participation Instructions for the MAG

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Hello Bernard,

thank you, and thanks to all of the others (Patrik Fältström, for 
example), who have tried to have some kind of remote participation 
set-up. This is not meant as a criticism of anyone, just a provocative 
remark to get some people to open their eyes, rather than bathing each 
other in congratulatory, back-patting, empty speech.

The trouble is that I've never managed to get the video/audio feed to work.
For one, they don't work with Firefox.
And then it appears that there's not enough bandwidth somewhere along 
the line...
I can get Webex, Skype, Marratech, Adobe Meeting, and Jabber to work 
perfectly, even with 2-way video, and yet, remote participation at this 
meeting = nil.

Whatever, remote participation, for me, currently rates at 0/10. ie. non 
existent.

Any remote participation system should be designed for 100s of remote 
participants, and should not fail when more than 10 people connect 
simultaneously...

My question: with the whole point of the IGF being multi-stakeholder 
public participation, why is this subject not being dealt with in a 
professional way?
The current arrangement is very poor. Sorry, I mean: dreadful. It makes 
the whole IGF process a complete joke.
Perhaps Dr. Touré was right when he used the term "waste of time".
