ICANN last year proved that our network infrastructure is world class - IGF should push us past the tipping point in broad based applications cheers Muriuki Mureithi The happiest of people don't necessarily HAVE the best of everything; They just MAKE the best of everything From: kictanet-bounces+mureithi=summitstrategies.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+mureithi=summitstrategies.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Alice Munyua Sent: 07 March 2011 20:18 To: mureithi@summitstrategies.co.ke Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: [kictanet] 2011 IGF dates 27 to 30 September Dear all, Dates for the sixth 2011 United Nations Internet Governance Forum (UN-IGF) have now been confirmed. The IGF will take place on 27th to 30 September 2011 in Nairobi at the UN Gigiri. We wish to have strong participation of all stakeholders and would particularly like to encourage industry, civil society and policy makers and who would bring to it expertise, partnerships, and best practices. We hope to leverage, build upon, and enrich the 2011 IGF, by extending the benefits of the IGF programming to begin to build a foundation for young people within the context of the East African Internet Governance Forum (EA-IGF) which will prepare them to participate meaningfully and constructively as IGF youth Ambassadors. Best Alice
