Dear Listers,

In addition to McTim's Comments on the extension on IGF mandate, I would
like to inform you that Kenya is hosting the 6th Internet Governance Forum
(IGF) in Nairobi latter this year.

The Permanent Secretary Ministry of Information and Communication, Dr.
Bitange Ndemo constituted a National Organising Committee chaired by Ms.
Alice Munyua last year.

Members of this committee are drawn from the Ministry of Information and
Communication, the Communication Commission of Kenya  (Secretariat), Kenya
 Network Information Centre,  Telecommunication Service Providers of
Kenya, Kenya ICT Board, among others.

Members of the National Organising committee led by the Chair to the
National Organising Committee are currently attending an IGF consultations
meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The meeting is hosted by the United
Nations IGF secretariat.

Important to note is that the Chair of the Kenya IGF organizing committee
, Ms. Alice Munyua has been appointed by the UN Secretary General to chair
the ongoing IGF consultations in Geneva, Switzerland. We congratulate her
for her appointment.

More information available at the IGF website http://www.intgovforum.org


Warm Regards,
