Dear Outreach Committee Members,

My sincere apologies on my late submission.

Though I was on the BC call I was dropped off at the point where the
discussion on the IGF was ongoing ( a practice that occurs when the call
reaches an hour during the meeting) so I wasn't aware of the deadline. Due
to a busy weekend i haven't also been able to update my mails until now.
Apologies again on my late submission for this request.

For this year's IGF, i would be managing a remote hub for the IGF
Secretariat in the city of Abuja (the announcement is on the IGF website)
and volunteer to use this as a medium to promote the BC. For 3 days, a BC
outreach would be organised at the hub to swell the BC's membership from
my region. It is expected that 3-5 new members would be recruited from
business participants at the hub who would also be contributing to
sessions from our hub.

Members of the BC physically present at the IGF and others intrested at
intervening remotely during our sessions would be encouraged to interact
with participants, and would compliment the distribution of BC fact
sheets, the tour of the BC website at the hub and The BC Half Hour
outreach sessions billed to educate our audience on the BC and the merits
to its membership. The BC brand and educative signage would be on display
at the venue also

The budgeted cost for successfully setting up and managing the hub to
include power, broadband, publications, branding, logistics and more for
the duration of the event is $8,200usd. I request for BC outreach support
in the sum of $2500usd as other opportunities for funding are being
explored in addition to MicroBoss committed funding.

Please kindly consider this request alongside the other ones before the
Outreach committee.

Thank you for your kind consideration.


Lawrence Olawale-Roberts
