> IGC Statement on Remote Participation
>
> We like to reiterate that remote participation is a crucial part of
> organizing IGF and we appreciate the effort to provide remote
> participation for the Open consultation and MAG meetings which were
> opened to observers.
>
> We like to commend the excellent work of the technical team from
> Politecnico di Torino, or The Polytechnic University of Turin which
> was originally brought by our colleague Vittorio Bertola in the first
> place.
>
> Building on that, we like to point out and suggest the followings to
> further improve our remote participation:
>
> There were some problems with video feeds and there was not a clear
> procedure that would encourage remote participants to intervene. This
> idea should encompass those physically present in Geneva and those
> observing the meeting remotely.
>
> We regret that remote observers were effectively excluded from the MAG
> meeting, because they had no access to live transcript. And we must
> add that even Mag members trying to participate online had difficulty
> in contacting moderators
>
> We urge MAG and IGF secretariat and ourselves, to consider the
> followings for the future IGF organizing work and IGF itself and work
> together:
>
> Provide as much interactivity as possible.
> Ensure equal participation between online and offline participants
>
> Prepare a clear guideline for remote participation and its moderation
>
> Always assign exclusive remote participation coordinator/moderator
> (who do not have other jobs at the same time and is responsible to
> interact between the meeting physical participants+ speaker and the
> Remote Participants).
>
> Provide plural means – video, voice and text channel, as well as
> real-time transcription and video streaming / coverage of the meeting.
>
> Enable the meeting and remote participation through interactive
> presentations access through RP.
>
> Due to limitation of sufficient funds availability for direct
> participation, it is crucially required for a common Remote
> participants as well as for a MAG members.
