<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Hope this helps.<br clear="none">

Dear colleagues,<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
