Hi All, There are logistical challenges that the Indonesian Organising Committee is facing with respect to financing the IGF. We have received word that the UN is currently working closely to help them arrive at solutions. This has of course raised a lot of issues with respect to the financing of these operations and forums. Fingers crossed, we will have a great Bali IGF.

Folks,
This is sad but official: the Indonesian organizers have cancelled the IGF.
There is a news report in Bahasa Indonesia at http://inet.detik.com/read/2013/07/25/135130/2314218/328/kurang-dana-forum-i nternet-dunia-batal-digelar-di-bali. Use Google translate and you will be able to read.
I had met the civil society organizers just this week. According to the news report, out of the US$2.2M (Rp22 billion) budget, they had raised US$900k. The Ministry had given US$250k. So they had a shortfall of US$1.05M.
