[governance] IGF Cancelled

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

So - UN or not, let us organize a civil society event there, on a
shoestring.  No particular need to fly a lot of officials first class and
hold it at the grandest resort in Nusa Dua.
 
We have 1.1 million USD raised by the local team, and a very decent event -
maybe not grand and five star luxury, but certainly at a very good standard
- can be organized on that.
 
And if the UN folks want to participate they can - at their cost J

I was looking to attend online, as I have some of the past such meetings. I
think this would impact the prospective presenters/workshop organizers the
most as they've put real hard effort into making sure their work is done and
ready - the deadline for these was 18th July... 
 
The real question is - will this mean the IGF this year is cancelled, or at
such short notice will another country be able to 'fill in'?

schedule, I am excited about the event a lot.

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-i
nternet-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
