[kictanet] Call for volunteers for the 2017 Kenya IGF steering team

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Listers,

The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual meeting that
brings together various stakeholder groups to dialogue on ICT and
Internet policy. While the discussions give soft policy outcomes, KIGF
is a knowledge sharing platform that informs and inspires policy
actors in both the public and private sectors. The national forum also
feeds into the regional and global IGFs through a chain of reporting
and representation to the regional and global IGFs to ensure a bottom
up Internet policy development processes and a strong link between
global internet policies and the national one.

KICTANet wishes to invite volunteers from all stakeholder groups to
assist in preparation of the 2017 KIGF edition, which is slated for
6th July 2017. The volunteers will form a local Multistakeholder
Advisory Group that will be expected to:

1.      Reach out to the community to source community participation
and KIGF subject focus areas.
2.      Lead online discussions prior to the KIGF.
3.      Coordinate logistics and resources for the meeting.
4.      Coordinate the actual event.
5.      Report on outcomes of the event.

To express interest, please send an email to info at kictanet.or.ke

interest in steering KIGF 2017 by 23rd April 2017.
