Bret-

Had to dig around for it but found it:

Have you both gone mad?

This is how you find all the information you could possible want about the Delhi meeting.

1. Type "ICANN" into Google
2. Click the first link.
3. Get to the ICANN website.
4. Click the big orange button at the top on the left-hand side that says "ICANN New Delhi"
4. Arrive at dedicated Delhi meeting site
5. Click on Schedule
6. Find the meeting you want and click on it.
7. View the agenda, the panelists, the presentations, the audio and webcast links, transcripts, chatroom and everything else

No Kieren, we haven't gone mad. I did all of that. You're running about 36 hours behind. Monday's work is now posted, but yesterday there were no transcripts and the real video files are archived, so if it's not live, those links don't work. Right now, at the end of your day on Tuesday, you have no transcripts from Tuesday posted.

So the message here is that remote observers ("participants" is too much to say) should be content with work a day and a half out of band with the real meeting.

Okay then that does concern me, we have a system in place that gets transcripts of meetings up usually within the hour, sometimes in two or three hours. I will find out what happened and if this broke down. I suspect the problem may have been the network going up and down - the scribes email the text after each meeting.

I wish you have been clearer in your initial post, Brett - it reads as if you haven't found the Delhi meeting site at all, and the follow up comment linked to a page on ICANNwiki and said it has been a struggle finding the information - so I assumed you were talking not about failings on the site itself but a failure to find the site in the first place.

Re: webcasts. It takes a long time to archive video files and there is a tiny demand for it so since we have limited resources and the meetings go on throughout the day, it is usually left to after the meeting.

However we did put a system in place for the first time this meeting where we are able to get a one-day turnaround on the audio in all the interpreted languages. I will check to see if this is working right.

In terms of the issue of effective remote participation - I'm all ears. The reality is that you can't have after-meeting participation so in this case where the timezones make it difficult, especially for North Americans, the only way to get real interaction is to provide a way for pre-questions.

I have been trying, with no luck at all, to get people to do this for four meetings in a row so I'm sure what to do on that front. The most effective way of participating at the moment is in the chatroom on each meeting page - where Milton and Wolfgang got questions answered in the JPA session.

You have already come up with some ideas on the online forum I have set up on the public participation site, Brett. More are welcome. I might have a participation meeting in Paris - but that is unlikely to solve the remote participation aspect because not that many in the ICANN community have ever tried to participate remotely.

Thanks for the feedback, sorry for the misunderstanding.
