Hi Donna,

I agree that ICANN should improve their capacity for virtual 
participation, however I feel that ultimately the ability to meet face 
to face and discuss on the side of the events is very important to a 
smooth operation of the meeting and cannot completely be replaced by 
remote participation. But having better virtual participation options as 
a choice would be helpful and a great improvement over the sometimes 
spotty phone bridge.

Holographic representation would be nice ;-)


Best,

Volker
