Profile Information
- Did you take the Internet Governance Capacity Building Programme - IGCBP from DiploFoundation? If so, in which year? Who was tutoring you?
- My first IGCBP encounter was in 2006 (my tutor was Veronica). I then joined the programme as tutor the follow year, and since then, I have met so many people from different walks of life, with one common interest – IG. Despite being a tutor, all my students have been a source of inspiration and knowledge to me. I have learnt so much from them!
- Where did you ¨discover¨ this Community portal?
- I was invited to join by my dear friend Seiiti :o)
- What are you currently doing today and projects you have related to Internet governance?
- I am a tutor on the IGCB programme, and I conduct research on all things legal in IG, with a special focus on Internet jurisdiction.
