[Rpg_hyd] Contact with hub organizers

[Markus KUMMER]

Dear all,

We are exited about this project and very pleased to see the growing
enthusiasm surrounding the remote hubs. You can count on our full support
to make a success of it..

In order to help make these remote hubs a reality we propose promoting it
on the IGF site,  displaying information about these hubs and encouraging
other hubs to form and register with us.

At this stage we would like to know how many of them are expected to be set
up. Could you write back to us and give us the following information so
that we can advertise the hubs on our We site:

Contact name:
Contact email:
Institution were the hub will be based:
Possible area(s) of interest within the 5 main themes:
Number of expected participants within the hub:
Do you have any pre-meeting activities planned, if so what and where:

In addition, we will upload a remote participation sign-up form for remote
participants so that we have a record of how many people participate
remotely. We hope that this will add value to the remote participation.
(All participants at the remote hubs are encouraged to register.)

Last but not least we encourage those of you who have not yet done so to
subscribe to our listserve, to facilitate including newcomers into the
discussion.

Best regards
Markus
