[governance] Contact IGF Nairobi

[Adam Peake]

Brice, hi.

Perhaps this link on Visas useful. 
<http://igf.or.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72>.

If eligible for a visa on arrival it will cost 
US$50 and the website says cash only, US$ only.

MAG might like to ask about contact numbers in case of emergency etc.

Adam
