This group aims to enhance remote attendance in the IGF. We are pleased to let you know that the report about remote participation in the IGF Hyderabad is now available online: http://www.igfremote.org/R eportRPIGF-final.pdf. The report has been written by the Working Group, in collaboration with Dimdim. It details the experience of local IGF hubs, which was implemented during the IGF 2008. The hubs are local meetings that exhibit the webcast of the IGF. On the other hand, people present in the hubs can send text and video questions that will be answered by the IGF panelists. Last year there were 9 registered hubs. They took place in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Serbia, Pakistan, India, and three in Spain. Any organization that wants to host a hub to the IGF 2009 will find a good starting point on this report. Please, get in touch with us if you have any questions. We would also appreciate to have your feedback.
