Internet Governance Forum Nov. 15-18, 2009 Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

As I walk into the IGF venue in the fine conference center of the city of Sharm El Sheikh, I started to hit some familiar faces of good people who made a difference worldwide and at home in the areas of ICT4D.
I was hesitant to come to Sharm EL Sheikh cause I was too tired and have been travelling for a while. Now, I can confirm that I am happy that I didnt follow my body that was asking for rest and followed the mind who was seeking some learning experiences and networking.

Some of the world l… Continue

Dear Karim,

How are you doing? I can see from all the things that you´re involved within just in telecentre.org that you must be quite busy!

I´m trying to write to your UNDP address to check something with you, but it sends rejection messages. Is there another email address I can reach you at?

Shokram, my friend!
