[governance] Should the IGF be reformed?

[Wisdom Donkor (via governance Mailing List)]

Adding to this important discussion, i am of the view that channeling our
strength at the national level will be a good thing to do at this stage,
but we shouldn't also forget the fact that education, health, agriculture,
energy and job creation are among one of the major headache of government
most especially from the low income countries. internet  has played a very
critical role in the economics of this sectors and for this reason there is
the need to strengthen the course of internet at the national levels most
especially in Education and health and for this reason job creation. Our
governments should be seen as adding internet governance to our educational
curriculum and try to fully extend internet accessibility to this sectors
if only we really want the  impact to be felt.
After all this we can begin to discuss at the global forums, sharing notes
and ideas of what works, what is not working and how to solve those common
problems.

Cheers
