[At-Large] IGF Cancelled

[Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Hi All,

There are logistical challenges that the Indonesian Organising Committee is facing with respect to financing the IGF. We have received word that the UN is currently working closely to help them arrive at solutions.

This has of course raised a lot of issues with respect to the financing of these operations and forums. Fingers crossed, we will have a great Bali IGF.

Kind Regards,
Sala
