[isoc-ny] IGF Day 3 update

Thu Dec 8 07:16:21 PST 2016

The session I really enjoyed yesterday was the one on accessibility and
public policy. As much civic activity goes online this is so important! FCC
Commissioner Mignon Clynburn made her points on the topic very powerfully
and succinctly. See  <http://www.igf2016.mx/multimedia.php>

The Elon University 'Imagining The Internet' Project students have been
busy conducting interviews with participants and you can see them at

The NTIA have now published Larry Strickling's prepared remarks from the
opening ceremony: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/speechtestimony/2016/remarks-

Glenn McKnight of ISOC Canada/NARALO has taken almost 1000 photos and they
are on his flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/albums/

One picture that Glenn didn't  take

(to my knowledge)

but is much admired is the one of Vint Cerf, Steve Crocker, Olaf Kaukman,
and Oscar Alejandro Robles-Garay
 wearing sombreros! - http://bit.ly/losigfamigos

Also a
musing,
but
 embarassing, is the fact that IGF's home site was down earl
i
er today, due to their domain expiring yesterday! Fortunately it all seems
fixed now.
