Fortunatley,  we all know that there is never a time frame good enough, to begin anything...so why not do it...this idea has been floating for the last two years.....my agreement with these comments....would be the objective, clearly stated to strengthen the Regional and national forums.

my 2cents.

Hello McTim and Alice
I agree with you in this concern and as so Alice must IGFs national and sub ​​regions are more dynamic in order to supply the exchange of experience in Africa at the IGF Panfrican . But there are also possibility from the IGF Panafrican to initiate or to strengthen national and subregional IGF. However, during this second phase of the IGF, Africa must be very present. For this reason I agree with you to ensure that national and subregional IGF should be more active. The West Africa and East Africa have already proven themselves. An example to follow.
But it is necessary that in this process, regional and subregional organizations such as ADB, ECCAS, ECOWAS, COMESA, ... just to name a few, can also participate in regional and Panafricain IGF appropriate level .

Good question McTim.
I think the priority should be to first ensure meaningful participation at the national and sub regional processes,  then perhaps we can begin to think about a panafrican one. But let's flesh out what the objectives of the Africa IGF would be at this stage.

Alice

Listers,

We have a version for EA, and one for WA, so do we really need a
Pan-African IGF?
