A virtual closing ceremony

01 July 2008

The fourth generation of students from the Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme gathered in July 2008 for a virtual closing ceremony at Diplomacy Island in Second Life. To enable participation of students with weak bandwidth, Diplo provided a software bridge between Second Life and Diplo classroom chat rooms. In addition to students and tutors, the meeting was attended by Dr Jovan Kurbalija; Markus Kummer, Executive Coordinator of the Internet Governance Forum Secretariat; and Rajesh Agarwal from the National Internet Exchange of India, the organisers of the IGF meeting in India.
