Request for speakers
by Amina Ramallan April 6, 2023

April 6, 2023

Good day all, I am a member of the Youth IGF and this year I plan on submitting a proposal for a session at the upcoming Global IGF scheduled to take place in October at Japan. The proposed topic is UA and its influence on the digital divide and bringing the next billion users online. As this is going to the submitted via the youth platform, it will be amazing if the speakers are of a diverse age, thereby encouraging an intergenerational dialogue on the panel. Kindly note that there is room for two moderators but I will be putting my name down as a moderator, so the second slot is still available. I hereby humbly request for volunteer speakers, rapporteurs and one moderator from all over the world who would like to work together on this topic during the IGF, if the proposal gets selected. Looking forward to your positive responses in my inbox. Thank you Amina Ramallan Nigerian Communications Commission
