[IGFmaglist] Registration for the upcoming MAG and OC -- online participation as a 'special need'

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi Ginger

It's great to suggest a more structured look towards remote participants.

Actually, an IGC thread pointed out a while ago that you'd be
launching a Dynamic Coalition for Remote Participation.

Is this something you're working on?

Thank you
