Dear Jeanette,

Greetings from Nairobi and hope this message finds you well.

I am writing in response to your message below.

We have just completed the East African Internet Governance Forum
(www.eaigf.or.ke), which took place in Nairobi Kenya and prior to that
we had national IGFs in Kenya Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda that feed to the
regional IGF, and we are hoping will feed to the global process next
month in India. This process was being coordinated by the Kenya ICT
Action Network (KICTANet) a multi stakeholder Network based in Nairobi.

I would therefore like to propose, the chair of the network, Brian
Longwe and/or myself.


Let me know if you need additional information and looking forward to
hearing from you

warm regards

Alice Munyua
