Dear Olivier (and Vint),

It is not only the ISOC wiki that disappears at some point, but the
Intgovforum.org archives and other public Internet archives. This
probably has to do more with what happens when websites are
redesigned. There is a certain convention followed in assigning a URL
in one platform, by one Web Master - for e.g domain name / user name /
date which changs in another platform under a different webmaster as
domain name / a long random number / page name.  A through migration
should make the URL convention change backward compatible, but it is
not usually so well taken care of. I have embedded videos, linked
session reports of the IGF in the Chapter blog, many of them don't
work. At the same time, it is also possible that sometimes, for
convenience, some or a whole section of archives are removed (like
LinkedIn having removed its archives of a feature it had known as
LinkedIn Questions (or Answers))

Wayback Machine might know of this problem better. Requires an RFC on
conventions to preserve archives.
