Accessibility in Baku for everyone is extremely important, not just as a
practical consideration but symbolically for the IGF itself.

Last year in Nairobi the electricity supply (or lack of it) seemed to be
one of the main technical  factors affecting remote access - something
important to remember for this year.

On the human side the remote moderators are an essential link in the chain.
The moderators in the workshops I 'attended' (from Saint Lucia) were a
great help.
However - moderators do need some training in their function and therefore
the earlier they can be recruited the better AND moderation needs to be
extended as much and as quickly as possible into languages other than
English.
