Hello Glenn, 

Thank you for sharing this article. However, it will be the decision to attend or not IGF. It is a significant and clear report about what Saudi Arabia has done in terms of speech repression. It is a shameful enforcement against people who use the internet to raise a flag for important issues. Of course, those who plan to go must respect those people's laws and cultural traditions and try to avoid unnecessary confrontations or expositions. I plan to go; however, if I don't go, it is because of other reasons that eventually conflict with the IGF schedule.  I'm passing along this article to the group that is going as the  IGFYouth and other pairs. Thank you! 

Best, Denise
