The Sixth Annual IGF Meeting will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on 27-30
September 2011 at the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON). The proposed
main theme of the meeting is: '*Internet as a catalyst for change: access,
development, freedoms and innovation*'.

If you are not able to attend the next IGF in Nairobi, Kenya, you can follow
it remotely! Remote participation, and specifically the hubs structure, has
been successful in previous IGF’s in partnership with the Remote
Participation Working Group (RPWG) <http://www.igfremote.info/> . This time
again you can follow the discussions from home; watch the webcast of the
event; follow real-time closed captioning ; and participate live.

Remote participants/hubs will be able to interact with the meeting by
sending text questions and/or video/audio interventions using the remote
participation platform (Webex). These questions will be forwarded to the
panel moderator when he/she opens the floor for questions from the audience.
The links to access each meeting room will be provided before the IGF.

Remote participants/hubs should take a look at the IGF schedule (available
soon) to see the room and the time of the sessions they would like to
follow.
