Dear Manal, Mary, Moktar and other Colleagues,

I wish to congratulate Alice for proposing a bottom up approach, which
should be adopted by the IGFs which have not yet started their process. In
this connection, I would like to echoe Moktar's proposal to strengthen the
Committee which was established yesterday to depart from a Committee of 4
to a Committee of 7 taking into account representatives from the remaining
3 regions.

In this regard, I propose that Ms Palesa Legose of the Department of
Communication in South Africa which is the Vice-Chair of the African
Ministerial ICT Conference represents the Southern African sub-region.

East African stakeholders are requested to consult among themselves and
propose 1 member to the Committee; the Central African Group is also
required to follow the same process.

I believe if we have Palesa and one representative each from East and
Central Africa, the list of Committee members could be closed. May I take
this opportunity to submit the minutes of yesterday's meeting.

Best regards,
