[governance] Re: Remote Participation Instructions for the MAG

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Ginger

Oliver and I had a chat on this topic and I have had some exchanges on
twitter with Marilla.

Our concern is not to find a temporary solution to participate in the
meeting today, it is a general concern, it is about the technical resources
required for remote participation, by IGF standards

IGF is *THE* Internet forum, a place where the who is who of Internet and
all the technical expertise converges and the infrastructure available must
be uncompromising. The present standards are a generation behind, there is
no room for contention.

It is all run by volunteers, yes, but this is not a comment about people, it
is a comment about the resources to be committed, about the attention that
needs to be paid. IGF needs to consult professionals months in advance to
determine the bandwidth and infrastructure requirements, arrange to send
experts to the locations days in advance to flawlessly set up the remote
participation infrastructure.

My suggestion here is that administratively the IGF Secretariat could call
for advise from the technical community
