TelePresence and E-participation Take the Stage

We have seen excellent examples of planned remote participation in the UN IGF process – including the current EuroDIG meeting using WebEx, UN Webcast and DimDim, and quick adaptations to the Iceland Ash Travel Restrictions using these and other tools.

There is a wide range of etools available from simple chat or Skype to sophisticated telepresence tools like those used at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference COPP 15 which you can see here:
