> 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
