[governance] National & Regional IGF initiatives section updated on Wikipedia

[Robert Guerra]

Deidre,

In my earlier email I pointed out that I had just updated the existing 
sub-section of the IGF wikipedia page where regional and national 
initiatives are listed.

I noticed several national level initiatives were either missing 
altogether and/or had missing URL’s. I proceeded to attempt to update 
the information and seek to find out what else needed revising. I will 
gladly add the details you mention.

That being said, I believe that the information listed be expanded with 
far more details so researchers, internet users and others know what (or 
not) what type of IG related events are occurring  at a national and  
regional level.
Would you and others involved in national and regional level activities 
have some time next week to chat with me? If so, let me know so that I 
can follow-up with you directly.

regards

Robert
