[Chapter-delegates] Recent Livestream events for RightsCon and ISOC London

[Konstantin Kalaitzidis]

GLENN,
--The PRX recording is excellent!
--Am interested -- although I will not be joining in Singapore (will be at
the Jun ICANN meeting in London)

RECOMMENDATION
--Taking into account Glenn's and Christian's comments, and reflecting from
my own experience, recommend we consider putting together an ISOC Chapter
Event Multimedia Toolkit.
--Kit should include Glenn's proposed audio recorder, and other devices
that can be used in a variety of event venue environments, reflecting
Christian's comments,
--For example, we should also include a streaming device (similar to the
ones used by the ISOC North America Regional Bureau).

-All the best,
-konstantin
