This reminds me ... I have spoken in the past with a number of people interested in organizing a DO-AFRICA online event like we did for Asia last year <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/do-asia/messages/1>. Let me know if you'd like to lead a month long online exchange on the role of the Internet in democracy, governance, media, etc.. across Africa. These events are great starting points that help connect people interested in or involved in similar efforts.

"Most people may not realise that regulatory frameworks exist that actively promote - or restrict - access to the Internet by the general population," says Emmanuel Njenga Njuguna, coordinator of the Africa ICT Policy Monitor. "The aim of the APC monitors is to gather information about and demystify the policy territory for human rights groups, civil society organisations, local Internet service providers … whoever has a stake in promoting equitable, secure access to the Internet in their country". A mailing list, which will highlight alerts and features from the website, as well as regular updates on Africa ICT policy, is being launched alongside the website to keep organisations and interested individuals informed as to the latest developments in the field. The mailing list will also alert users to the availability of exclusive resources on ICT policy in Africa from the website, as well as the latest developments in African responses to global, regional and national Internet Rights campaigns. We extend a warm invitation to interested individuals and organisations to join this informative and dynamic list.
