[kictanet] Invitation: 2009 EA-IGF, 7-9 September 2009, Nairobi, Kenya

[Solomon Mburu]

I think today we were just setting the pace for knowing each other, at least
to settle the dust, from our various national IGFs.
In the next two days, I see a situation where emerging issues will be raised
more so, on Vincent issue- which McTim raised.

Otherwise, today's meeting, in my opinion, addressed the issues which are
pertinent to strengthening Internet Governance in this region!

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the
same way to the side of a hill!

AND

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
