[Plenary] IGF community Web site

[Jeremy Malcolm]

Welcome to those who have recently joined this list.  Please encourage 
anyone else you know who was at the first IGF meeting, or who 
participated remotely, or who intends to be involved at Rio, to join as 
well.  Please particularly encourage those who are from government or 
the private sector to join - because that is the main difference between 
this list and the IGC and WSIS-Plenary lists: that it is for all four 
stakeholder groups.

You all know about the igf2006.info Web site which Kieren McCarthy and I 
set up for lack of anything similar being forthcoming from the 
Secretariat.  My questions to this list are:

(a) Would anyone else like to be made an administrator of this
     site, to improve and add to it to a greater extent than
     they can as an ordinary user?

(b) What domain should we move it to so that its URL doesn't
     have to move every year?

(c) Where should we host it?  We started off on some cheap Web
     space but the site quickly grew too large, and in the end
     even the United Nations' Web server suffered a notorious
     episode of down time.

(d) Do civil society people want to use this site as their site
     for coordinating civil society activities related to the IGF?

(e) What worked for you on the site this year and what didn't?

(f) Should we ask the Secretariat to move anything from the
     official site onto our community site?  I'm thinking of
     things like, most obviously, its discussion boards which
     are a bit redundant and were hardly used, and maybe less
     obviously, things like "Related Activities", "Media" and
     perhaps even "Contributions".
