[kictanet] IG Discussion 2009: Closure and Way Forward

[Barrack Otieno]

Well on the internet governance Forum, i am not sure whether there are
vested interests but purely from a knowledge and best practice point of view
i i would suggest that it proceeds to the 5th Session. I know many have
termed it as a talk show, however, this talk shows have fostered the spirit
of cooperation and diplomacy, maybe the forum should be given more teeth
under an appropriate UN agency, that notwithstanding i am curious to know
the position of insiders Mr Vice President Dr. Siganga what is your
position?
