Re: [council] Motion on Transparency of Council Meetings

Hi Caroline,

I was active in WG about remote participation for Internet Governance Forum,
and my understanding is that cost wasn't a barrier for setup either
audiocast or videocast.
I am even in contact with team from Politechnico Torino which help IGF
secretariat to setup video and audio streaming for each IGF open
consultation and they only request a reliable bandwidth Internet connection.
