Hi Ken,
Thanks  for the information.
 
Really it has been a worry to some of us, and if you read the mail i sent on the network  3 days ago, you would have gotten the point I was putting across(refer)
 well, what is the west african or if you want african caucus site? we need to update our selves on regional  governance processes and also  help fast track  processes.
 
It is only when we begin the processes that we can get some support. It is only Africans that can develop themselves. All other   overtures are  "push" 
 
I call on African scientist, academics, civil society, government , the youth  and all stakeholders concern to show interest in IGF activities.

Dear all

Please find attached recommendations adopted on IGF in West Africa 
following the one day forum we organized (and also recommendations on 
legal frameworks of the information society in West Africa, discussed 
during the first two days).  

Regarding IGF in West Africa, it appears to me that in general people 
don't feel at ease or don't well understand the international process 
itself (even thought they have a better understanding or are even 
experts in issues, taken in isolation, encompassed in the Internet 
Governance concept) and the review is hard for them to be undertaken.

We will update in the coming days the website with recommendations and 
presentations (translated in adequate languages), more photos.

Regards

KL
