I would love to be involved in the discussion developping the tool kit, the idea is awesome and will surely be helpful. Within the YCIG (Youth coalition on IG), we developped a quite similar document, IGF for newbies and it was widely distributed at igf2015. Maybe that can help as foundation that will be enriched with new unputs from this group?
I am also in for the meeting at icann56, i plan on attending. Let's have the poll and decide on the agenda so that we can incorporate it on our agendas.
Soon,A

We agreed earlier to develop a sort of "tool kit" sharing information of this nature, in our Substantive Session at IGF2015.  I am proposing that we re energize this idea, but perhaps it is for June-August, as we are all drowning in other work! 
Also, just a reminder that Connecting the Next Billions - Phase II has been adopted as intercessional work, and I propose that we turn our attention to how the NRIs might contribute to that effort during our next and upcoming call. 

Finally I offered to organize an informal gathering of those who are attending ICANN56, and I will ask Anja to do a Doodle on the attendance, so that I can try to manage a meeting space. I have copied in a couple of colleagues who may not be on the IGFregionals list, but will undoubtedly want to join, as they are attending ICANN, or launching national Initiatives.

Hello Arsène, 
As Sarah said, that's the common (easy) way which is used to start a local IGF.

Dear Arsene, 
Just like in Mwendwa, Judith, Paul and other people, in Uganda the national IGF is an event that is organised under ISOC Uganda. On most occasions, the Chapter partners with other organisations and government agencies like the Ministry of ICT, the National IT Authority and others. That way, the national IGF does not have to be registered or have legal status. 
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Arsene,

In case of the AP regional IGF (APrIGF), the event itself is just that - an event - which is organised by a Secretariat office within the DotAsia organisation in Hong Kong.  So while the organiser has a legal status (as an incorporated non-profit organisation), the event itself does not.  That said, the APrIGF does have a comain name and website, a number of committees and procedures etc, which have been devised accoring to expected norms; but which are essentially informal and voluntary structures.

I believe this is the situation for quite a few of the national initiatives.  In other words, it is not strictly necessary to establish a new incorporated legal entity in order to hold an IGF.  It is perfectly worklable for an existing organisation to host and organise the meeting;  providing of course that that organisation is appropriate in structure, is trusted, and performs its role to the satisfaction of stakeholders.

You will find that the IGF Secretariat in Geneva also has a number of stated expectations of “IGF Initiatives” in order for them to be recognised and listed on the main IGF website.  If you have not, it would probably be useful for you to review those requirements.

Hope this helps.

Dear colleagues,
We are in the process of having our first national IGF in the DRC and we are wondering what legal status to give to it. Is is a non profit? a movement? This question has been asked by our Ministry in charge of ICT to us as the organizing committee.
I am writing to inquire which legal status your national initiatives have within your countries. This will help us know how our Secretariat and our own form of MAG will operate. Please do share your experiences.
Thanks for your support,Arsene____________________________________________________________
