[kictanet] Forum Agenda - Lets focus

Mon Jul 21 12:30:31 EAT 2008

Dear Waudo,

My understanding is that this is a "public forum" and therefore will have
list members and non-members who may be members of other lists and
organisations.

Please see what Brian posted on 14th July which triggered this effort.

Hi all,

We are proposing a Public Forum on Thursday 31st of July to be held at a
suitable venue in Nairobi. The objective will be to provide all the
different ICT stakeholder organisations within Kenya a chance to introduce
themselves and their policies to the public. 

There will also be opportunity to evaluate Kenya's ICT ecosystem, especially
with regards to the different entities, their missions, roles and goals. As
well as provide organisations such as KEPSA with an opportunity to share
their view/vision on how they expect ICT sector input/engagement.

Formal announcement will be posted once details have been worked out, but in
the meantime please pencil this into your schedules. We can also explore the
possibility of an IP stream for the Diaspora... if there is interest in
tracking this.

Warm regards,

Brian

Hi Harry - Thank you for your initiative. As we follow up I think we need to
first establish who is going to be the audience. Is it Kictanet list
members, public, or who?. And if public how do we market? Defining the
audience will help us to ensure we have an agenda that sufficiently
interests them otherwise we may end up with an empty hall. As an indicator I
noted that hardly 30 people from the list voted for the facilitator out of a
list population of, I presume, over 500. So should we focus or broaden the
agenda given the statistics so far?.

Dear Colleagues,

Now that we have democratically identified a facilitator for the forum, can
we collectively discuss the agenda of the meeting? This will help in making
sure that we achieve what we want to do at the forum.

So to begin with, I had floated some issues, so probably we could use the
next few days to "panel beat" and come up with a concise programme for the
forum. I reproduce the ideas I had floated earlier for you indulgence.

Harry
