Dear Lea and Lorena,<br>
<br>
Precisely the plan. Since it is going to be the first country IGF
for Pakistan, we will need a lot of guidance and support. I wrote to
Sheetal separately on this but we hope to finalize the concept note
of the event early next week and then we will start sharing it with
global MAG members and other relevant partners for their input. <br>
<br>
We are very excited about the possibilities and look forward to your
support. <br>
<br>
Best wishes and regards<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Sadaf,
Congrats for this initiative and thank you for sharing. It's great to see
further proliferation of national IGFs across the world. I'm assuming this
is on the radar of the IGF Secretariat? It's important for these
initiatives to feed back into the global IGF and there are a number of IGF
MAG members have been actively involved in making this link more relevant
and robust. My personal experience in national IGFs is limited to the UK
example, but I know there are others on the MAG who would be more than
happy to provide guidance and advice. Let me know if you would like me to
forward this info to the MAG list.
Best and good luck!

<pre wrap="">Dear All,
We are very happy to announce that we are planning to initiate *Pakistan
Country Internet Governance Forum* this year. We hope to organize first
yearly event in September 2016.
Several civil society organizations including Media Matters for Democracy,
Bytes for All, Pakistan and Internet Policy Observatory of Pakistan (IPOP)
and other relevant stakeholders are collaborating for this purpose. PakIGF
is going to be a collaborative multi-stakeholder effort. While we already
have ICANN onboard, we are reaching out to several international
organizations, local universities, government authorities and other
institutions seeking collaborations and support to organize Pakistan
Country IGF. A Multi-stakehodler Advisory Group (MAG) will be announced by
the end of March 2016. The event website will soon be live on
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.pakigf.pk">www.pakigf.pk</a>.
We will be keeping everyone in the loop and welcome ideas and feedback
from other organisations who have arranged national IGFs in other countries
to make sure that we can arrange an event that successfully enriches the
internet governance policy debates in Pakistan.
With Regards,
*Sadaf Khan*
*Director Programs*
*Media Matters for Democracy *
