[IGFmaglist] Rumors about IGF Bali

[Vladimir Radunovic]

Thank you Chengetai, much appreciated.
Sardjoeni do you have some updates from the Indonesian side?

It is important that MAG discusses and clarifies rumors about IGF whenever
these appear (esp. such important issues), and informs the wider community
about findings.

Best!

Dear Vlada,


While as a general policy I do not like commenting on rumours, I am very
aware that there have been some rumours flying around that the IGF in Bali
has been cancelled.

However, neither the IGF Secretariat nor UNDESA in New York  have received
any official notification of such.  We are in contact with the Indonesian
authorities discussing all the aspects related to hosting 2013, and we will
let you know as soon as any significant development occurs.


Best regards,

Chengetai
