[Kictanet] Re: Appointment of New CCK Board

[alice at apc.org]

Dear All



Thank you very much for the congratulatory messages. Although I have not 
received official confirmation, apart from a phone call from the  Ministry's 
office I believe this appointment is in recognition of the work of the Kenya 
ICT Action Network (KICTANET) a multi stakeholder forum, consisting  of 
civil society, academia, private sector, media, youth, gender groups and 
development partners.



I must also congratulate the Kenya government for acknowledging that the 
complexities of meeting the challenges of ICTs as an enabler of  sustainable 
development requires bringing together major stakeholders in a  new form of 
decision finding, decision-making and communication. I hope  this will 
provide  an opportunity for a truly participatory process.
