[IRP] Human Rights at the Regional IGFs

[Chad Lubelsky]

Hi everyone,

The West African IGF will be held from 23 - 25 August 2010 in Dakar,  
Senegal and there will be a series of National Forums leading up to  
it.  Once we have a clearer idea about who will be at the WA IGF I'm  
sure we can find someone to support the Human Rights at the Regional  
IGFs project.
