Hello,
The IGF has begun here in Bali, and we have a pretty good contingent and a lot of stuff on the program that would be worth checking out. IGF's remote participation is always pretty good, so I hope some members around the world will be able to join us. [NB: Depasar is UTC/GMT +8 hours, so adjust the times below accordingly]
Here's what I know about.
Wednesday October 23, 16:30-18:00, Room 8, Kintamani 2

WS 212 Exploring the Dimensions of Multistakeholderism http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_status_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=212 and probably others of us here are speaking in various other workshops and focus sessions... Since we didn't put up an NCSG page with everything, perhaps those folks could share any details here….
Again, as with ICANN meetings, if you're not in Bali you can still participate—and without being miserably hot and humid when you step out the door and freezing when you enter the convention hall, too. So I hope to 'see' some folks online…
Best,
Bill
