[Alice Munyua]

Dear all,

Very best wishes for 2011.

Following an invitation by  P.S Dr. Ndemo  for stakeholder 
input/comments and discussions on the two proposed draft bills, I am 
pleased to announce that the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet),  
University of Nairobi (UoN), and the International Development and 
Research Center (IDRC)  will launch discussions starting Monday January 
24th, 2011.

   "Media Council Bill 2010" discussions/input will begin on Monday 24  
for 10 days ending February 4th. Thereafter discussions/input on the 
"Independent Communications Commission of Kenya draft bill"  from 
February 14th to 25th.

As with previous policy related discussions the processes will be  
facilitated. Grace Githaiga will facilitate discussions on the Media 
council bill, Dr. Catherine Adeya on the Independent Communications 
Commission of Kenya, Kerubo Kemunto will assist with moderation and 
reporting and Washington Odhiambo continues to manage technical aspects 
of the list/s.

Each  draft bill discussion will take ten days on the KICTANet mailing 
list and blog. All comments,suggestions, edits and opinions relevant to 
the draft bills will be collated and will form part of the first draft 
report that will be validated at a face to face workshop in March 2011 
(dates to be announced later).

The final report/s will be submitted to  the Ministry of Information and 
Communication as well as the Parliamentary Select committee on Energy 
Information and Communication.

We look forward to  very vibrant discussions. Attached the two draft 
bills. Can also be accessed on the ministry website:

very best

Alice
