[kictanet] Fwd: ICT Board Strategy a Farce

[Patrick Mburu]

Good afternoon,

Perhaps a few questions to be asked (not directed at Brian only)  if some
others may be interested in knowing is...

   1. Who qualifies as a stakeholder (individual and company?)
   2. How can one qualify as a stakeholder? and contribute to be considered
   as a voice being heard:
      1. Perhaps as members of this list for example; can questions /
      suggestions regarding certain issues be solicited through the online
      discussion fora or through directed workshops... be collected
and presented
      on behalf for those unable to attend various events?
   3. How can one be nominated to participate at these venues be it retreats
   and or missions overseas as indicated in the document?

I apologise if this has been already discussed at length..however a quick
recap can't hurt.

Perhaps these are best directed to the ICT board directly? however, it may
benefit others curious on this list as well...

On another note... I found the document rather interesting as this is
response to the much awareness requested on this list : *information* ..*
information*...*information*...
Kudos to the ICT board on making efforts to dissemniate this info. and hope
to see further publishes and eventual invites.

To move forward collectively..collaboration is key...

Wishing a good friday.

Asante,

Patrick
