[governance] IGF 2012: Call for remote Hubs

[Bernard Sadaka]

Dear All,

As we approach the IGF 2012 meeting, which is being held on 6-9 November
2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the IGF Secretariat will once again be providing
remote participation facilities this year.

Many of us within the IG Caucus community will not be able to attend and
some of us would require to invite others to actively take part of the
debates. Taking into consideration the importance of the global as well as
local debates, the IGF Secretariat has issued a call for the setting up
remote hubs in our countries/institutions as well as providing technical
support in the form of training on the remote platform as well as email
support.

So what are remote hubs?
A remote hub is a group of people (5 or more) with common interest in an
IGF theme/session who gather in a room and remotely watch the video/audio
and text of one or more of the workshops of the IGF in Baku as well as send
their feedback via chat, audio and/or video.

What can you do to participate?

   - Tell your colleagues/friends/acquaintances about your hub
   - Register your hub at:
   http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/remote-participation/hub-registration-2012
   - Prepare an adequate room at office or home with a computer, Internet,
   audio system and a projector
   - Follow a training at:
   http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/remote-participation/trainings-2012
   - Choose some interesting workshops for you and your
   colleagues/friends/acquaintances from the latest programme (on home page:
   http://www.intgovforum.org/) and invite them to join you at the time of
   that workshop.
   - You will be able to chat with that workshop as well as send an
   audio/video intervention.

Should you have any question regarding remote participation, please do not
hesitate to contact me at: bsadaka at unog.ch

Looking forward to your active engagement, feedback and participation.

All the best,
Bernard
