Dear Izumi.
I'm replying this way because I think the addresses got muddled again so
this sends your message to the whole list.

Reading this paragraph:
-       To focus discussions, the preparation process of each IGF
should formulate a set of policy questions to be considered at the
IGF, as part of the overall discussion. The results of the debates of
these questions should be stated in the outcome documentation with
special focus on policy perspectives and aimed at capacity building.

I wondered if it would be possible to alter the perspective on remote
participation by turning it into a general policy issue. Remote
participation falls into the "internet" arena very neatly, but it is also
used by people with no overt IG connection - vide our small local literary
group which has remote participants from Turkey and Brazil.?

Thank you for the two sets of notes - I really appreciate them.
Deirdre
