Dear Colleagues

The Kenya ICT Board (KICTB) in conjunction with the Kenya Network
Information Centre (KENIC), the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet), the
East African ICT for Development Network (EA ICT4D) and other participating
organisations are pleased to announce the Kenya Internet Governance Forum
(Kenya IGF) to be held on the 14th of October, 2008 at the Jacaranda hotel
in Westlands. The Kenya IGF will offer a central forum through which
Internet stakeholders in Kenya can contribute to the global Internet
Governance Forum.
 
The Kenya IGF is a follow up to the KICTANet mailing list discussions on
Internet Governance, which were held in August 2008, and aimed at beginning
to identify and explore national level Internet Governance issues.
 
The national forum aims at:
·       creating awareness on IGF issues,

·       instituting a consensus building process to develop a common
understanding of Kenyan Internet Governance issues and

·       building policy capacity in order to enable meaningful participation
in global Internet policy, governance and development.

 
The outcome of the Kenya IGF will be collated with that from the other
national IGF¹s which will take place in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, to form
the agenda for the East African IGF (EAIGF) scheduled for 10th-12th November
2008, Nairobi Kenya.
 
As a key player in the Internet industry, it is my pleasure to invite you to
the Kenya IGF. Below is a summary of the programme:
