[EURO-Discuss] Remote Participation in New Delhi At-Large Meetings

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Dear All:

Since the 31st International ICANN meeting is now just around the  
corner - the first At-Large meetings start next Sunday - I wanted to  
take a moment to remind everyone who will not be there in person of  
the remote participation options that exist for you.

Firstly - At-Large meetings will allow you to hear, and be heard, via  
telephony as per usual. You can see all the details associated with  
each meeting from the main At-Large meeting page at: https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?new_delhi_meeting

There are several ways for you to get connected. We have made a number  
of improvements to the remote participation services, thanks in large  
part to a new vendor for teleconference services for At-Large:

1) Use a freephone number local to you - see https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi/AdigoITFS_112807.jpg?action=attachments_download;page_name=6_february_2008_tr;id=20080121175223-0-13569 
  for a current list.

2) If no freephone number is available in your country, you can have  
the service dial out to you via a simple web form at: http://go.adigo.com/go/outlink.php?sid=7298 
. *IMPORTANT NOTE: The dialling system will only work if you preface  
your country code with 011 instead of 00.*

For those who are participating this way, if for some reason you're  
connection drops, you can use the form above to get re-connected. You  
can also contact the conference operator at the AOL/AIM ID: d4500.

The Access Code for all calls is: 1638.

More broadly, ICANN has many other public participation options for  
remote participation. These include:

* Streaming audio for many sessions - it is anticipated that the audio  
streams will be in multiple languages for the first time as well;
* Chat with other remote participants and the meeting participants in  
New Delhi - including asking questions for panellists which will be  
brought to the meeting by meeting moderators;
* Forums on various hot topics where you can electronically debate  
with others.

The place to start for all of this is at http://public.icann.org.

I hope that many of you will join us remotely in New Delhi!
