[kictanet] ICT Amendment Policy-upgraded copy

Thu Sep 1 12:15:15 EAT 2011

Walu,
This version is a splendid improvement from the earlier one. Someone must
have worked overdrive over the weekend to get it to this status. Or was
somebody sitting on the dossier only to pull it out on a Monday morning? Let
me know so that I decide whether to recommend "*apigiwe*" makofi or "*apigwe
*" makofi.

Overall, the document makes good for a zero draft. Apparently there are a
few issues to do with the sequencing logic that we will need to straighten
up so that the reader is not tossed back and forth when going through the
policy document e.g E-Commerce & E-govt among other sections are scattered
across. Also observable from a broad perspective is that the core/
foundational aspects of ICT are relegated to the latter chapters of the
document; Chapter 8 and beyond. Personally, I am finding it easier to read
the document from the rear.

As you state it will be absolutely in order to have a structured form of
discussion so that we can dissect and scrutinize the various clauses for
posterity reasons.
