  1. On 8\u20139 July 2021, Botswana's national Internet Governance Forum met in Gaborone \u2014 the first annual meeting on the UN IGF's records for this young NRI, established in 2019.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. The official NRI record states its purpose \u2014 a multistakeholder platform for the Botswana community to discuss internet governance \u2014 but no agenda, speakers or outcome documents were published.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. The UN-hosted website for the initiative remained an empty shell, an example of how fragile record-keeping can be for Africa's smaller NRIs; the meeting itself, however, is attested by the UN IGF's official record.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
