<br>countries in general and Africa in particular in the last two years of<br>the Internet governance discussions and to discuss what strategy should<br>be adopted for the coming years, in order to insure that the interests
<br>of the billions of people living in the developing world are served. It<br>is found particularly important to discuss about the strategy since the<br>various stakeholders in the developing world (governments, private<br>
sector, civil society, etc.) have limited resources that put them at a<br>disadvantage compared to their counterparts in the developed world.<br><br>**When and where **<br><br>*Date:Thursday, 15 November 2007 Time: 08:30 - 10:00 Location: Meeting
