> Remote participants are able to register themselves in the same way as
> in-person participants. This is something that civil society advocates
> of remote participation have been asking for, and it is good to see it
> implemented.
>
> It will also be good to see it widely used. :-)

> During one of the preparatory sessions for the remote participation
> process in which I've (remotely) participated (I'm going to serve as
> on-site remote participation moderator for the IRP coalition's
> session "Rights-Based Principles and the Internet: Taking Stock and
> Moving Forward"), it was mentioned that UNESCO has gotten some special
> funding or sponsoring or so to fund the remote participation
> infrastructure, and that therefore it is important to UNESCO to have
> numbers demonstrating that this has served an important purpose.
>
> I think that most likely the same numbers will also be considered in
> deciding how much effort will be put into enabling remote participation
> to future events.
>
> So, unless of course you're going to be there in person and you have
> registered for that already, please take the step to register as a
> remote participant. That contributes to making an important point about
> the importance of the voice of all those who for various reasons are
> not there.

> Again, there seems to be a deadline of today Feb 20.
