<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Firstly let me</span> apologise<span

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This information was recently posted to the
ISOC Public Policy list as well, so some of you no doubt are already aware of
this new initiative, but I have been requested by Jeremy Malcolm to

<p class=MsoPlainText>A new Web site for the IGF community has just been
launched at <a href="http://igf-online.net/">http://igf-online.net/</a> by the
Online Collaboration Dynamic Coalition (ODCD), a bottom-up multi-stakeholder
working group of the IGF.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The new site already hosts a number of useful resources
including a community blog, wiki, calendar, chat and needs feeds, most of which
were selected for their capacity to support multilingual usage. It also
features a specially-designed menu running along the top of most pages of the
site, that links in external Web sites including the Secretariat's official Web
site and that of the Rio hosts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>This new site for the Rio meeting and beyond supersedes
last year's site (which, beset by hosting troubles, is currently inaccessible),
and thanks to a sponsor's generosity now provides the IGF community with a
dedicated server on which a large variety of online tools can be hosted without
the limitations of a standard Web hosting service.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Members of the IGF community, including dynamic
coalitions, are encouraged to begin using the new site now. By
registering (or logging in with your existing OpenID) you can begin posting on
the community blog, adding events to the calendar, and entering information on
the wiki. Hosting of other content will be accommodated on request.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Volunteers are needed to help with translating the site's
content into other languages, designing a complementary set of themes, and
spreading the word. Please contact me or the Online Collaboration Dynamic
Coalition if you would like to help, have any trouble using the site, or have
any new ideas for it.<o:p></o:p></p>
