sounds good. but as Evan Ikua and Waudo reminded us...part of this discussion did happen 2yrs ago and could Mblayo share the minutes plse (or maybe we did not record?). Such minutes can strongly inform the next town hall meeting...

Thanks Alice. Let us start with the ICT bodies one. I like your agenda, reformulated:
What ICT bodies do we have? What are their mandates?What do we need?
What is lacking?Way forward.
Dates?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for always taking this up and offering to coordinate town hall
meetings.
Yes lets go for it....ICT institution, what do we have? What is lacking,
what do we need.
KICTAnet will support the usual teas/coffees for about 25-50 or so people
And then we must organize another to discuss the cyber security policy
that the P.S posted to the list.
So, please do go ahead, and organize for both soon at Arziki
thanks and very best
alice

Kenya, not just on KICTB. It needs to cover KICTB, NCS and DEG/GITS. It
also needs to include the plethora of ICT industry associations that are
not effective. I can organize such a townhall meeting in Chiromo like
the first one. However, for such a meeting to be useful, it needs to be
preceded by some guided discussion on the same. Alternatively, one or
two persons can prepare presenations to guide the discussions, with
these presentations being made available earlier for participants to
acquint with them. I am also prepared to be one of those persons. tim
