I would have to use the igf-online.net site, which is meant as a public, non-partisan site open to all to use for IGF-related purposes.  I am currently its administrator after inheriting it from the defunct Online Collaboration Dynamic Coalition, but would love for some other group (eg. the Remote Participation Working Group) to officially take it over.
