The 8th Internet Governance Forum (IGF) annual meeting will be held in Bali, Indonesia from 22 to 25 October 2013. IGF has a critical role in the global Internet governance ecosystem. It provides a neutral and non-binding venue for discussions on some of the most important Internet governance issues, which could then be reflected in the policy/decision making processes of various national and international Internet governance bodies. Each year prominent Internet governance experts and activists get together at IGF to discuss public policy issues pertaining to the Internet and exchange knowledge and ideas.
Join us for a webinar on IGF and remote participation. Ms. Farzaneh Badiei, in charge of remote participation at the IGF Secretariat, will give a brief overview of IGF 2013 and a presentation on how to actively engage with IGF discussions remotely at IGF 2013. Ms. Virginia Paque is a member of the remote participation working group and she will tell us why remote participation is effective and how it can increase your role in shaping the Internet governance policies. Ms. Laura Vuillequez, consultant at the IGF Secretariat, will guide us through the IGF website. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
