Hi Hong,<br>
I hope many Asian Internet user group participate at the HK meeting!
Re: remote participation, so far, it has worked at both NYC and London
-- but mostly for listening.<br>
<br>
We have not found that remote participation
meant being able to speak remotely -- so far people could not actually
add their own comments and voice to the
proceeding. It was more an online chat room -- valuable for its
dialogue, but with only a few questions from the chatroom shared with
us (in the live room) at the very end via ICANN staff. <br>
<br>
**Please ask if you can give a
short speech to the live room if you participate in the remote room --
please ask if your voice can actually be heard by those assembled.
** Yours is an important voice, and it will be a great precedent!<br>
Best,<br>
Kathy<br>

I will encourage more Asian Internet user groups to participate the HK
meeting, not only because they are in the same or close time zones but
because their voices are hardly heard at ICANN. I'm now checking with
ISOC Hong Kong to see if I can participate remotely.<br>

to my research HK is 12 hours ahead of USA EST - so this<br>
will start at 9pm July 23 for us here on the East Coast.<br>
<br>
Good news for us night owls!<br>
