This is a good opportunity to announce any new projects or coalitions you are involved with.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><B>Videos of Prepared Statements</B></DIV>I just checked in with the IGF secretariat here in Athens. They apparently have not received many video submissions are still interested in posting videos of prepared statements on the IGF website and at the venue. But you need to send them in quickly. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>If you have a webcam, and have five minutes of something to say, consider recording a video and sending it in over the next day or so. Unfortunately they only support DVD and WMV. formats. The easiest way to get your views known is to email a link to the video posted to the web somewhere to the address <A href="mailto:igf@unog.ch">igf@unog.ch</A>.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Here's the info from the secretariat: <A href="http://www.intgovforum.org/athens_outline.htm">http://www.intgovforum.org/athens_outline.htm</A><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><B>Prepared Statements</B></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">One of the principles behind the meeting is to allow for interactive discussion of the issues before the IGF and to minimize the time given to prepared statements. The importance of prepared statements is recognized, however, and provisions will be made for the video recording and broadcasting of all statements. Participants can submit a recorded five minute statement that will be made available on the IGF Web site and also broadcast at the venue on in a loop on three plasma screens for participants to hear. Those who are interested are encouraged to provide these statements both in video (specification: DVD format .vob files (region 2) or .wmv format (384x288 resolution for streaming) ) and in written document form.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px;
