[governance] Help needed to list National and regional IGFs

[Fouad Bajwa]

Its interesting to note that there are no regional IGFs taking place
in the wider Africa, Central Asia, Asia, South Asia, South East Asia &
the Pacific and Australasia.

Would this be a key point to include in regional IGFs and the IGF
itself to help build and lift the capacity of these regions to
stimulate country or regional level IGF activities? This would also
make clear why some countries that are member of the UN adopt a very
radical approach to finishing the Internet Governance Forum like what
happened during the last Open Consultations?

I feel happy to see that your regions are making good amounts of
progress, Brazil and Europe in particular whereas the rest of the
world needs some IG related stimulation and capacity building and
inclusiveness is a very big area for Internet Governance. It is just
like Human Rights that more than 90% population on the planet isn't
aware of their human rights. That figure is way over for IG.
