[IGFmaglist] Interview notes from IGF Istanbul Participants

[Izumi AIZU]

Dear all, this is summary of what I just said at Open Consultation meeting.
I also attach the result of my interview.

I am the retired MAG member after three years ended at IGF Istanbul this
year.

Still, I like to share my notes of Interviews we did on ad hoc basis at IGF
Istanbul. There were only 9 interviews, but there are some good elements
for us to consider.

I would like to summarize into two main points.

1) More Participatory style

Most, if not all, mentioned that IGF meetings are not easy to participate.
There was a clear line between organizer, speakers and just audience for
most of sessions and workshops. Many felt isolated or not well addressed.

There are many ways to make meetings much more participatory.
I would not go into details here, but some methods like:

"Unconference, "BoF" or "Open Space" is one way.


2) MAG to listen to participants
By conducting this ad hoc interview, I felt it very valuable. I like to
encourage the MAG members to try to do it again at the next IGF.

3) Propose to change “Remote Participation” to “Online Participation”

Onsite and Online – to give more equal-footing status

Difficult to stay and listen, but much more difficult to make meaningful
intervention.

With NETmundial, videos were shown – from India or Indonesia – gave
somewhat more intimate feel – and coherent but not sufficient

more later,

izumi
