Description of the workshop:
To ensure a sustainable discussion for Internet Governance, it is important to include remote participants who are unable to attend physically to these discussions. IGF and regional IGFs only happen once a year, so most of the work is actually done remotely. While face to face meetings are best, it often comes with a high price tag of traveling and accommodation costs, which is often unaffordable by participants in developing countries. In particular, we would want to explore how to make it sustainable for youth since they are the new blood and least economically supported. By discussing how to make remote participation a sustainable way to attract new attendees, and how to make it easy for them to voice out, despite language and timezone barriers. This topic is crucial to enable inclusive and sustainable growth.
This survey aims to identify the most important problems to address for remote participation among the broader community. After collecting the feedback, we will choose the top 4 pressing issues for discussion of solutions that we can adopt in the next IGF. The report will be submitted to the Secretariat for reference
