Hi Folks, The meetings being set up are exciting to see come about. If a Skype link could be incorporated, I believe we could see a significantly larger participation. I personally can not afford the travel yet would very much like to be there. This group is global and these types of conferences/meetings will grow in number. If a Skype like link could be offered by the organizers, the non funded members would have a better means to stay abreast.
The UNEP Conference is offering internet participation for the selected experts. However, the proceedings should be opened to internet viewing by all interested parties on simple transparency grounds. There is no practical/technical reason why network viewing should not be made available to the general public. A side Google Group could be set up for those that are not invited "experts" but wish to make comments and/or discuss the issues being presented by the invited participants..... as it happens. I am not any type of "expert" and thus would not qualify for direct involvement in the UNEP Conference, yet I would appreciate an opportunity to view the proceedings and express my views within a conference dedicated Google Group. This is a critical meeting which has far-reaching potential. An internet version of a spectator gallery would seem reasonable for such a potentially historic conference.
