HI Arsene,<br>
<br>
I would suggest a non profit form as you would want to raise funds
for it and you would want a legal entity. If a non-profit is too
difficult than a for profit would work as long as it is truly multi
stakeholder. I believe that the IGF-USA is a non-profit or at least
affiliated with a non profit. The Mag should have representative
from all sectors. You also make want to include restrictions on how
much companies can donate so that a few companies do not dominate on
the funding. <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Judith<br>

<div><span>Dear colleagues,</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>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.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>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.</span></div>

<div><span>Thanks for your
