<div dir="ltr">Dear Robert,<div>Going through the Wikipedia article I notice what seems to me to be an omission of importance to many of us - important because it demonstrates the possibility that being small, from the South and relatively poor does not necessarily mean that one cannot lead.</div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">In January 2005 in responding to the work of the World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM)
Secretariat requested the assistance of the CTU in developing regional policies
for Internet governance. The CTU adopted a multistakeholder approach to the
task and convened the first Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (CIGF) in
September 2005 in Georgetown, Guyana. This was historic in that the Caribbean
became the first region in the world to convene an Internet Governance Forum.
Since that time, the CIGF has been convened annually to enable the CTU to
coordinate the development and evolution of this Policy Framework which was
first issued in January 2009.</p>
