Not while calling it that, because the name is already taken (see my 
example of the European IGF and EuroDIG) and it wouldn't be "The IGF" of 
the Tunis Agenda.

But someone else could organise a differently-named global conference 
about Internet Governance, the UN doesn't have a monopoly in that.
