Hi all... my attempt at being a remote participant is failing miserably.
This reminds me that:
- internet speeds in South Africa are still generally pathetically slow
- people who participate remotely in IGF processes deserve a HUGE amount
of respect for their patience during IGFs and open consultations.
Audio is much better this afternoon.. so I remain hopeful.
Thanks for the updates from those in Geneva.
Best
