[governance] Stakeholders wrangle over the Brazil Summit on Internet Governance

[Janna Anderson]

While the transcripts are of undoubtedly high value and are an important outcome from these processes, they are not to be quoted without first checking what really happened by watching the video.

As usual, the transcripts are packed with errors. Never read the transcript and assume you have been properly informed. They should be read in concert with watching the video of each panel you are interested in. While most of the words typed on the page are correct, many here and there throughout are not. Peoples' names are often mangled, so at times you do not even know who is speaking, and there are many misbegotten words here and there that can completely flip the true meaning of the conversation.

I have spent many years spent following IGF, sometimes remotely, while reporting about it by watching the video AND checking the transcripts. They are often misleading.

Most of the transcripts are now online <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-2013-transcripts><http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-2013-transcripts>

At least one of them has the wrong link.  The correct link for "Focus session on principles of multistakeholder cooperation" is:
