<font face="georgia,serif">I think today we were just setting the pace for knowing each other, at least to settle the dust, from our various national IGFs. <br>In the next two days, I see a situation where emerging issues will be raised more so, on Vincent issue- which McTim raised.<br>
<br>Otherwise, today's meeting, in my opinion, addressed the issues which are pertinent to strengthening Internet Governance in this region! <br></font><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/9/7 waudo siganga <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emailsignet@mailcan.com">emailsignet@mailcan.com</a>></span><br>

a long time. Congratulations to the organizers for reaching this high<br>
level of achievement which will certainly resonate across the world and<br>
raise our region's profile.<br>
