Hello MAG Chair, I support the choice of theme and its alignment to the Global Internet Governance Forum. I also support the broad thematic areas. The government has also been clear about leveraging the Digital Economy to propel the country towards attaining the vision 2030 objectives. I would propose a taking stock session to review how the various strategic documents and approaches such as the 2006 ICT Policy, BroadBand Strategy have served the country and how we are progressing with implementation of the countries Digital Masterplan.
