We currently meet once a month to discuss research and general literature related to particularly Africa's but also the global Internet. The aim is to keep abreast with the research and development around the Internet and how we could utilise the research findings and the new information for the benefit of the Internet community.

Other participants, who are expected to have read the paper prior, also chip in with their insights about the work under discussion. The lead discussant alternate for every meeting. We are, of course, open to suggestion on how to make this session a worthwhile event.
