I will be in a number of cities in the next few weeks, and would be glad to speak with -- or meet with (when space and time permits) -- TIG members who have interest in the use of ICTs for Development. I am involved in a number of research efforts ("African Youth and ICT Policy Engagement", "Nigeria, Africa and the Internet Governance Debate", "Telecenters and Better Livelihoods", "Youth, ICTs and Human Development", etc) and would love to have feedback from those who share similar interest around such themes. Dates and places follow:

June 19 - 21: Abuja, Nigeria
June 22 - 23: Lagos, Nigeria
June 24 - 28: Vancouver, Canada
June 29 - July 2: Columbus, Ohio / Toronto, Canada / Calgary, Canada [TBD]
July 3 - 4: Vancouver, Canada
July 5 - 6: Ile-Ife, Nigeria
July 7: Akure, Nigeria [TBC]

Please send me a private message, and I'd be glad to share the research materials with you. Thank you! E se... Merci.
