 Folks,

 This is sad but official: the Indonesian organizers have cancelled the IGF.

 There is a news report in Bahasa Indonesia at
http://inet.detik.com/read/2013/07/25/135130/2314218/328/kurang-dana-forum-internet-dunia-batal-digelar-di-bali.
 Use Google translate and you will be able to read.

 I had met the civil society organizers just this week. According to the
news report, out of the US$2.2M (Rp22 billion) budget, they had raised
US$900k. The Ministry had given US$250k. So they had a shortfall of
US$1.05M.

 Regards,
Peng Hwa
