[kictanet] Calling on volunteers for the 2018 Kenya IGF steering team!

[Grace Githaiga]

Dear Listers

Further to my earlier _Save the date_ note, KICTANet wishes to invite
volunteers from the different stakeholder groups to assist in
preparation of the Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) 2018
edition, which is slated for Thursday 19th July 2018. It will be
preceded by the 3rd Edition of Kenya School of Internet Governance
(KeSIG) and the Youth IGF that is convened by Watoto Watch.



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 entrench a
bottom up Internet policy development process. Further, to create a
strong link between global internet policies and the national ones.








The volunteers will form a local Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG)
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 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.co.ke with
the subject line "Kenya IGF 2018" indicating your stakeholder group,
expertise and why you are  interested in joining the steering
committee of KIGF 2018 by Monday June 4 2018.








Membership to the steering team is voluntary and all materials
produced by KICTANet are published under creative commons licenses.
Organisations from various stakeholder groups are encouraged to
nominate representatives.








For more information or clarification, kindly email the 2018 Chair of
the organising team Victor Kapiyo (vkapiyo at gmail.com).
