Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC) in conjunction with
Multimedia University will be hosting a remote participation HUB at the KeNIC Offices from 16th September 2010 -
17th September 2010. The remote participation was earlier scheduled to take place at the
Multimedia University, but has been changed due to technical issues.
Remote participants will be able
to follow the meeting taking place in Vilnius by watching videocasts or
listening to audiocasts from the meeting rooms and reading real-time
closed captioning.
Remote participants will be able to interact
with the meeting by sending text questions, using the remote
participation platform (Webex). These questions will be forwarded to the
panel moderator when he/she opens the floor for questions from the
audience.
Hubs are also encouraged to send short pre-recorded
video questions or statement (2-3 min) outlining key issues on the local
discussion agenda. Hubs will be also allowed to join with real-time
video message.
The links to access each meeting room will be provided
before the IGF. Remote participants should take a look at the IGF
schedule available here to see the room and the time of the session they
would like to follow.
