Hi GG,
Agreed, i just posted the nine areas to kick start the discussion, Gakuru has introduced and interesting area with his post, Daniel Omondi has also raised an area we can think through. I am keen to know what is happening in so far as enhanced cooperation is concerned, is it an area relevant to Kenya that can be discussed? many thanks for your contribution
Best Regards

@Barrack, previously listers have come up with what are our priority issues which are then debated in f2f meeting during the Kenya IGF. Sometimes the issues have been similar to what is being discussed globally but sometimes we have had our own unique issues. As Gakuru says, can we ponder and decide what is relevant for us?

Barrack,
Before automatically 'adopting' perhaps we need to pause and ponder what motivated, how, why, and who set this discussion agenda? At least that would help our collective better understanding of the set discussion agenda, scope and possible outcomes?

Hi Ali,
In addition to WCIT, we also have the Net Mundial meeting in Brazil. I also came across an email in which the following key areas were highlighted as themes for 2014:
1. Local policies enabling Internet Access
2. Content Creation, Dissemination and Use
3. Internet as an engine for growth and development
4. IGF and the Future of Internet ecosystem
5. Enhancing Digital Trust
6. Internet and Human Rights
7. Critical Internet Resources
8. Emerging Issues
Can we adopt this to guide our discussions in 2014?, what are the main issues under the various thematic areas that we might want to explore?
Best Regards

Dear Listers,
As the Internet Governance debate unfolds globally , it would be good for Kenya to establish its position. In light of ongoing debates what do you think should be our priorities for 2014? Where should we channel our energies so that we can contribute effectively to the global process?
Best Regards
