I imagine other governments that really want the event to proceed will now weigh in to help

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
