[bestbits] IGF open consultation and MAG meeting December 2014

Fri Sep 26 14:29:48 EDT 2014

Hey Anriette,

Great ideas, will be great to finally get the report for AfIGF and all sub
regionals into one space, this will assist in providing more concrete
outcomes. Currently working on looking into the AfIGFs but still waiting
for 2014 report.
