FYI, Dear Members it would be great to have a couple of hubs in our Universities to enable more people to participate. You will be notified when and where our main hub will be. Best Regards Dear all, The IGF Secretariat has approached us and suggested encouraging ISOC Chapters setting up Remote Hubs for next month's IGF meeting in Baku. I am ware that some Chapters have dome so in the past and we would very much welcome if more Chapters chose to set up a Remote Hub for the Baku meeting . This is would be a welcome opportunity for ISOC members who are unable to travel to Baku to engage with the IGF and to contribute to the discussions taking place there. More details about how to set up and organize a hub can be found on the IGF website: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/remote-participation/hubs-instructions Past experience has shown that it usually works well when the hubs are set up in cooperation with a school or an academic institution, preferably a technical college. Remote participation is an increasingly important feature of all Internet-related meetings and greatly contributes to transparency and also the inclusiveness of Internet governance processes. Last but not least, Remote Hubs can be an excellent tool for community building, as they bring together people who are keen to discuss Internet-related policy matters. It would be great to see many ISOC Chapters on the list of IGF Remote Hubs! Best regards Markus -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254-20-2498789 Skype: barrack.otieno http://www.otienobarrack.me.ke/
