<div dir="ltr">Congratulations Nnenna!!<div><br></div><div>One point I like to share is - </div><div><br></div><div>We need to increase meaningful input and participation from the people in the developing parts of the world. </div>
<div><br></div><div>This does not necessarily developing countries and their governments.</div><div>There are so many people living in the underdeveloped parts inside developed countries.</div><div>They are mostly in the remote areas, in the mountains, country side, far from major cities etc. Or even inside large cities but in the slums, poor areas.</div>
<div><br></div><div>They are as marginalized and ignored. People in the small and often remote island countries, landlocked countries are in similar situation, if not the same.</div><div> These were mentioned by Tunis Agenda, I believe.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Often, if the got connectivity, thanks to Internet and mobile phones, these new links might bring as much benefits as problems. But their voices and views are often ignored, not much invited. Most domain names are owned and operated by the people in the cities.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course, these economic factors and conditions are not directly generated by the Internet, and Internet Governance issues may not seem to be directly linked. But nonetheless, I like to ask you to consider these issues.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br></div><div>izumi<br><br>2014年4月15日火曜日、Nnenna Nwakanma<<a href="mailto:nnenna75@gmail.com" target="_blank">nnenna75@gmail.com</a>>さんは書きました:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear all,<br><br></div>I got a message this morning from NetMundial Chair, Virgilo, inviting me to speak at the Opening Ceremony of Netmundial (meaning I have to pack one of those African dresses) for some 8 minutes.<br>
<br></div>I have replied to say "I will be speaking from the Civil Society perspective, which is my Stakeholder Group".<br><br></div>There is a Web Foundation media team that will help me put my ideas into place, but I cannot not request input from here, so that no major issues will be overlooked.<br>
<br><br></div>I travel Thursday evening thru Friday, so the earliest I can share a draft/keypoints will be Monday.<br><br></div>Hope we can pull this off well.<br><br></div>All for now<br><br>Nnenna<br></div>
