[governance] Re: [bestbits] IGF open consultation and MAG meeting December 2014

Anriette Hello, hello to all,

Here attachments recommendations of the two editions of the IGF Central
Africa (http://it4all.org/fgi-ac/). Currently, ideas are brewing for
ECCAS (Economic
Community of Central Africa), in collaboration with the regional office of
the ECA is committed to bring leadership to the organization of the IGF Central
Africa .

Since 2011, we have realized the problem with the institution that could
have the powers of the organization like the AfIGF which is organized by
the African Union with the technical collaboration of UNECA which houses the
AfIGF secretariat in Addis Ababa.

The Central Africa IGF secretariat is temporarily held by ANTIC (
www.antic.cm) in Cameroon but is not formally recognized by the governments
of the countries of Central Africa even less by ECCAS.

It is for this reason that in 2013 the CAFEC, in collaboration with local
NGOs, hardly organized the 2013 edition.

The 2014 edition still suffers from this problem and no country wants to get
involved. I tried several times with the Ministry in charge of ICT and the
regulatory authority.

Apparently, the answer is neither yes nor no, but the question asked what gives
credibility to this approach? Because, they say, globally it is the United
Nations, the Africa level is the African Union and UNECA but regionally,
which ???.

This is the dilemma we face in Central Africa level. And it even has an
impact on national IGF despite repeated pleas with organized as a basis the
Tunis Agenda and organization of IGF worldwide.
