We've been tracking much of it on our https://www.internetsociety.org/igf2015 landing page and also on https://twitter.com/internetsociety but I'd like to give you all a number of pointers. 1. The Huffington Post published an article by Kathy Brown on "The Internet: An Opportunity for Sustainable Development": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathy-brown/the-internet-an-opportuni_b_851408... 2. We've published daily posts about what our main activities have been on Day 0 and Day 1: * https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2015/11/isoc-igf2015-day-... * https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2015/11/isoc-igf2015-day-... 3. We have a video available of Kathy's inspiring remarks at the High Level Leaders meeting on Day 0: https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2015/11/video-available-k... 4. In our partnership with the Diplo Foundation and the Geneva Internet Platform, there are now "IGF Daily" documents being published in print form onsite and also available via PDF. The Day 1 edition is available here: http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/events/igf-brazil-2015#IGFDaily 5. We and Diplo also announced a call for curators to participate in the GIP Digital Watch platform and help shape the coverage of various Internet Governance topics on the site. The application process is open to all ISOC members (or you just need to become a member before applying). You can read more and find the application at: http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/aboutus 6. IETF Chair Jari Arkko and other IETF / IAB leaders are also on the ground in Brazil. Jari put up a short blog post at: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2015/11/internet-governance-forum/ 7. Finally, If you want to follow the WSIS+10 session, and other policy sessions, Samantha Dickinson is in Brazil and doing her awesome level of high-volume live-tweeting at https://twitter.com/sgdickinson There have also been some great comments today from Raul Echeberria in the WSIS+10 session and Jane Coffin's IXP Best Practices session is going well as I write this with some great information. We are planning to publish a news release later today about Kathy's remarks at the IGF 2015 Opening Ceremony - you can watch https://www.internetsociety.org/news for that. We also expect to have some other announcements that we'll be sharing out. Again, please watch our https://www.internetsociety.org/igf2015 and social media accounts for more updates.
