Message-ID: <00e501c94e81$62ccdab0$28669010$@com.ar> Dear Mr Kummer and all; I?m M?nica Abalo. I?m the president of Argentina Chapter of ISOC which has joined to hub remote participation to the IGF and jointly with Olga are pushing the initiative locally. >From the Chapter we are promoting participation among our members and other people. Within the information of the IGF web page, remote participants are encourage to register in advance. My questions are: - if the on line registration form is the same for those participants will attend the meeting in person. If do so, we need to clarify in the registration the remote hub we belong to? - if the registration for remote participation must do by single participant or by remote host with independence of number of people will assist - user name and password to participate in the IGF will be the same given by dim dim?s team for dim dim trainings? If not, when do you think that ID and password will be assigned? - once each hub has ID and password, these identification data can be used to connect with any session and workshop or we need to choose previously each session where will participate? Sorry for lot of questions but we are preparing the instructions for interested participants so we want to have all information as possible to guide the people. Best regards, Dra.

It would indeed be more efficient to rely on the list for the further discussion of the project. You can go the list archives to check what has been sent. As you have already noted, we have now launched the project on our Web site and encourage interested Remote Hub organizers to register with us. The reason why we have not yet listed your hub is because you have not given a complete description. We would like to list location and institution. If there are others on the list, please let us know, and please also indicate the city and the institution the Remote Hub is based in. Best regards Markus > Hi, > I just wanted to check if the list is functioning as I have not > recieved any message from it, niether have my collegues from > Argentina that have subscribed to it. > Do you need further information about our remote hub in Buenos > Aires?

<00e501c94e81$62ccdab0$28669010$@com.ar> Message-ID: Dear members of the Secretariat, I take the opportunity of the questions raised by Monica to resend you some questions I made a few days ago. I?d like to ask you to kindly provide us this information as soon as possible, since we are being questioned by hub organizers. Most of them have shown interest to access the audio of the workshop sessions through DimDim. At first we were told that the audio would only be available if hub organizers requested it and appointed someone to pre-approve the questions sent remotely. The second information we had, also from the Secretariat, was that the audio of all hubs will be made available, no previous request was needed. In addition to that, there was no reference to the necessity of moderators. I?d like to clarify this in order to provide more accurate information to the interested people.

I am aware that the webcast available in the site. My question is: Will DimDim be made available to the workshops and best practice sessions, making it possible that remote participants interact with them? Or the DimDim platform will only be used for interaction with main session? Thank you once more for your attention. Best regards!

It might be helpful if you drew the attention of your remote hub participants to this call for questions and encourage them to send in theirs, either directly to us (igf at unog.ch) or through the remote hubs. We expect the questions to focus on the main sessions, but questions relating to individual workshops are also encouraged. Your remote participants are invited to submit questions on topics they would like addressed during the Hyderabad meeting. They will be an essential part of discussions during the Hyderabad meeting. When sending in your questions, please include "IGF Question" in the subject line. State which session your question is for. Please keep your question short and clear, if you want to include some introductory text or comment, please make sure the question you want asked is clear. Include your name, country, and affiliation. We will do our best to bring the questions to the attention of session moderators.
