* '''[[IGMENA]]''': A program which brings voices together from the [[MENA region]] (Middle East and North African region) on Internet Governance and policies. In response to the importance of internet during the "[[Arab Spring]]", and the limited amount of legal framework for Internet freedoms that exist in most of those countries, [[IGMENA]] believes in assuring freedom of expression and information within MENA counties. As a result, IGMENA believes that Internet Governance should be confined to the government, technical experts, and business representatives, and aims to attract wider participation from a wide-ranging number of civil society individuals, including bloggers, journalists, students, public sector employees and members of the private sector. It encourages those individuals to come together, share knowledge, and create national and regional action plans.<ref name="about">[http://igmena.org/about About], IGMENA.org.
