RE: [IFWP] Today's ICANN's Berlin Meeting (Wedesday)

[Jonathan Zittrain]

Gene,

The Berlin meeting was the first time that the
comments/scribing/webcast/meeting archive tools really reached critical
mass.  It had been available in Singapore and Cambridge, too, but novelty
and time zones may have made it less accessible to remote listeners, and we
only had scribing and audiocasting (I think) down at IFWP Geneva last
summer.  I didn't detect any aversion to remote comments by the chair in
Berlin--certainly not based on the content of the messages--just a sense of
overload as in-room and extra-room comments piled up on each agenda item.

I'd love to see the tools brought to "3.0" through brainstorming on this
list, and then integrated more tightly with the Santiago meeting
proceedings.  ...JZ

My thanks to the Berkman folks as well.  The mismamangement of the 
tool at the Berlin end (by ICANN) has nothing to do with the potential 
value they brought to the table. 

Bravo, very well done.
