Dear Colleagues
The Kenya ICT Board (KICTB) in conjunction with the Kenya Network Information Centre (KENIC), the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet), the East African ICT for Development Network (EA ICT4D) and other participating organisations are pleased to announce the Kenya Internet Governance Forum (Kenya IGF) to be held on the 14th of October, 2008 at the Jacaranda hotel in Westlands. The Kenya IGF will offer a central forum through which Internet stakeholders in Kenya can contribute to the global Internet Governance Forum.
The Kenya IGF is a follow up to the KICTANet mailing list discussions on Internet Governance, which were held in August 2008, and aimed at beginning to identify and explore national level Internet Governance issues.
The national forum aims at: · creating awareness on IGF issues,
· instituting a consensus building process to develop a common understanding of Kenyan Internet Governance issues and
· building policy capacity in order to enable meaningful participation in global Internet policy, governance and development.
The outcome of the Kenya IGF will be collated with that from the other national IGF's which will take place in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, to form the agenda for the East African IGF (EAIGF) scheduled for 10th-12th November 2008, Nairobi Kenya.
As a key player in the Internet industry, it is my pleasure to invite you to the Kenya IGF. Below is a summary of the programme:
