Lucy, Are there any plans to enable those unable to attend to follow the proceedings online (perhaps by twitter feed)?

Hi, I believe the issue of us being able to follow the proceedings from wherever we shall be is an opportunity rearing to go and we need to look at it seriously. During the ICANN meeting I enjoyed taking in the technology especially the live transcription including haas and mmmm from the speakers. All more impressive was the smooth stutter-less audio when presentations where being done by presenters smugly seated in their offices in the US, Russia and even China. There is fibre optic connecting Nairobi to Mombasa can KDN or GOK setup a satellite location in Nairobi and can we be allowed to collocate a conference server at their tele-house which will allow the totally desk bound ones to follow the proceedings online I will be more than willing to offer the server and software.
