The following statistics were calculated for informal evaluation of the Yokohama remote participation efforts.

• 705 distinct non-anonymous people logged on to the remote participation sites, including 276 on the 14th, 253 on the 15th, and 176 on the 16th, with significant overlap between days.
  
  
• 9387 views of the ICANN-Yokohama Remote Participation page (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/yokohama) in 3801 user-sessions in the two-week Sunday-to-Saturday period surrounding the meetings. 1624 views in 908 user-sessions of the Live Webcast page while the meetings were in progress. (But surely many repeats by same person on different days, therefore counted as different user-sessions.) A total of 187,825 hits in 26,085 user-sessions to ICANN-related content in the two-month period surrounding the meetings, from June 14 to August 13.
  
  
• In the two-week period surrounding the meeting, 995 user-sessions reached the ICANN-Yokohama Remote Participation and Preregistration pages via links from ICANN's site.
  
  
• All RealAudio and RealVideo servers below capacity at all times. 669 user-sessions accessing the primary video feed summed among all days.
  
  
• From the 12th to 29th, the http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/yokohama/archive Archive main page received 6523 hits from 4531 distinct user-sessions. In that time, 935 distinct user-sessions watched RealVideo archives of one or more of the Yokohama meetings, averaging requests for about 1.8 distinct video segments per user-session. A total of 287 user-session requests for the Archive page resulted from links from online articles on Yahoo and CNN's respective web sites.
  
  
• 68 remote comments were received throughout the three days of meetings. Of those, 11 were presented (all read in their entirety and attributed in scribe's notes).
  
  
• Yokohama remote participants came primarily from the United States and Asia. Summing over all three days of public meetings, 286 remote participants self-identified as North Americans, 162 Asian, 60 European, 10 Australian, 5 South American, and 4 African. See http://cyber.harvard.edu/icann/yokohama/archive/remoteparticipants-geography.html for details. This data reinforces prior experience that remote participants are primarily drawn from North Americans plus residents of countries in timezonese for which the meetings take place during the day.
  
  
• A total of 845 people preregistered to attend the meetings, including 519 planning to attend in person and 341 interested in participating online. (Some overlap -- it was possible to indicate interest in receiving relevant announcements for both physical and remote participation.) Of the 519 planning to attend in person, 456 were willing to include their names on the list of meeting attendees (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/icann/yokohama/archive/inperson.html) while 53 explicitly declined to be listed. Announcement messages about webcast times and details and about archive availability were sent to all preregistrants in addition to all actual remote participants. Finally, another 348 participants registered on-site; their names are merged into the public list of meeting attendees linked above.
