This document discusses remote participation in the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and its benefits for inclusion. It notes that the IGF aims to discuss Internet governance issues to foster sustainability and development of the Internet. Remote participation allows for 365-day participation, global and regional discussions, and lower costs compared to only in-person meetings. While it lacks some social benefits, remote participation facilitates inclusion and local/regional input to influence global processes. When combined with in-person meetings, it can discuss local issues and solutions that then feed into the global dialogue.
