This is making me wonder if we should not start a platform to record
all the recommendations related to IG that we make?<br>
<br>
Want to compile the African ones Kenyanito :) ?<br>
<br>
E.g. we have now had recommendations coming out of 3 African IGFs,
not to mention subregional ones.<br>
<br>
I wonder if the IGF would not want to create such a space? The
current site already provides a space for all contributions into
open consultations:<br>
