The IGF has just added four new topics at its discussion forum, covering the four main themes of openness, security, diversity and access. Unfortunately the only posting so far is by a poster called "Big tiits", which contains inline pornographic images, including an explicit photograph of intercourse (just a warning).

Appropriately enough, this posting has been to the "security" topic (though on the other hand perhaps a better topic may have been "openness", since that's the theme under which content regulation will be discussed?).

As usual, the new topics have been added without any announcement (just as the cancellation of the Forum has yet to be formally announced on the IGF Web site). In fact, is it just me, or is the IGF Secretariat a little uncommunicative generally regarding their activities?

I have just reported the abusive post to them, but from previous experience the IGF Secretariat is not always quick to reply or act on email. Looking back, I see that most of my communications with the Secretariat have gone unanswered:

Perhaps they are a little overwhelmed? Perhaps they should open up a little more to allow volunteers from the community to give them a hand?
