The EAIGF is a follow up to the National Internet Governance Forums

understanding of East African Internet governance

participation in global Internet policy, governance and development.

The outcomes of the EAIGF will be submitted and presented at the third
global Internet Governance Forum taking place in India in December 2008.

As a key player in the Internet industry, it is our pleasure to invite
