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

http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_status_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=249

NCUC also has two other workshops:

Thursday October 24, 11:00-12:30, Room 10, Kintamani 6
WS 253 The Debate on ‘Closed’ Generic Top Level Domains
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_accomplish_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=253

WS 282 Internet/Telecom ‘Convergence’ and Global Internet Governance
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_status_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=282

In addition, Robin has this one of particular relevance

Friday October 25, 9:00-10:30, Room 3, Nusa Dua Hall 3
No. 129 Human Rights & Multi-Stakeholder Governance: ICANN Experience

http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_status_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=129

I'm also speaking in these

Wednesday October 23, 11:00-12:30, Room #3 Nusa Dua Hall 3
WS 357 The Cloud, Many Clouds, and Free Expression
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_status_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=357

Thursday October 24, 14:30-16:00, Room 9, Kintamani 7
WS 210 The Technical Community Role in Global IG
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/wks2013/workshop_2013_status_list_view.php?xpsltipq_je=210

Thursday October 24, 16:30-18:00, Room 1, Nusa Dua Hall 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
