[governance] Remote Participation

[Deirdre Williams]

Perhaps nearer the time, when people know what their plans are, it might be
possible to put together a list of IGC volunteers? I've acted as a remote
moderator at several meetings I've attended over the last two or three
years, and was very grateful "in" Nairobi to the remote moderators of the
sessions I attended, who acted as intermediaries for my comments and
questions. My sense is that Marilia and Ginger are, or can indicate, the
organisers.

And thank you Google - and Robert - I think that must have happened while
the transcript wasn't working.

And about the statement - Izumi put it together in a hurry originally from
his own ideas and from various suggestions offered by both physically
present and remote participants. He offered the statement as coming from
himself, but the issue was felt to be sufficiently important that the IGC
should itself prepare a statement. I had contributed one of the points
raised, and subsequently did a little cosmetic editing. Izumi did the hard
work.
