Would you like to speak about this in the East African Internet Forum that we are holding as part of the AITEC East Africa ICT Summit over 20-21 November? The draft programme is attached.

You could do this making a presentation or in a panel discussion. Others are welcome to contribute as well.

How about the Western governments as a good place to start?

It is interesting to see that a lot of these initiatives are relevant to the developing world and not the developed world.
