Welcome to the IIC Small Nations Regulators Forum (SNRF)
The SNRF is one of the many positive examples of the IIC’s efforts to cater for all stakeholders. Its requirement of holding discussions under the Chatham House Rule fosters open debate and in-depth exchanges of views between regulators.
IIC SNRF Chair and Vice Chair for 2024-2026
We are delighted to announce Masego Jeremiah from the Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority (BOCRA) as Chair of the SNRF and Maurice Hook from, Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA) as Vice Chair of the SNRF.
A few words from Masego:
“I am privileged and honoured for the opportunity and trust you have placed on me to serve as Chair of the IIC SNRF. I am aware of the expectations that this lofty responsibility places on me and pledge my commitment to give it my utmost best. Maurice Hook, Vice Chair, and I are looking forward to working with the IIC.”
A small nation is a country whose population is less than 0.1% of the world population – currently approximately 7.9 billion across 195 countries.
The Small Nations Regulators Forum was originally created as a result of an invitation-only IIC meeting supported by OfReg, the multisector regulatory authority of the Cayman Islands. Representatives from island nations agreed that particular issues were not unique to islands and countries with small populations and/or economies typically have more problems in terms of ensuring competition, enforcement and access, and it was felt valuable to share experiences and remedies.
The outputs from the programme may assist SNRF members to demonstrate how an effective regulator can ensure businesses are operating effectively and efficiently for the benefit of their communities and the economy.
SNRF membership included with IIC Regulator membership, for eligible Small Nations.
