If this is the case, me wonders why  the IGF gets so much attention, as it
sounds much more like  the latter group than the former.

Anyway, the answer to the  question:
How do we engender effective participation from developing countries
(Africa)? is fairly simple, and can be found in many places:
http://www.afrinic.net/training/index.htm
http://www.afnog.org/index.html
http://www.afrinic.net/meeting/index.htm
http://icons.afrinic.net/
http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/ntw.shtml
http://www.icann.org/fellowships/terms-and-conditions.htm
http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/fellowship/overview.shtml
http://www.isoc.org/educpillar/cctld/
http://ws.edu.isoc.org/

In my experience all of these programs engender effective participation
amongst Africans, none of them are just a "jolly", tho they can be lots of
fun!
