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
