[kictanet] Kictanet alive.. kickin, or kicked into KICTAnet 2.0

Spot on Gilda. However, it may be useful to hear from some lurkers as to why they are not active participants of the forum (there is not so much from the sisters :)). Maybe there is something that can be done to allow for more participation? I have for example received comments off-list when I have moderated debates, and my question to those listers is that it would be nice for them to raise the very good comments here on this forum. Again, the aim is to strengthen the forum and have it continue to remain relevant.
On another note, I have seen some of our discussions here quoted authoritatively on mainstream media, as well as on social media. 
Ben Akoh, we look forward to reading the findings of your research. 
Lets keep this debate live! It is very useful.

Long live Kictanet- as far as I am concerned.
 
Listers,
 
I think we need to remember that just like in any other forum, there are 
always the very few who engage in discussions while most do the listening. 
That is typical human behaviour, and it is therefore not odd nor 
is Kictanet dying because not all subscribed listers are actively 
participating.
Personally, I am quite happy with the forum.  And there has been so 
much to learn and listen to in the various debates- very useful.
 
Regards,
 
Gilda Odera

      Ben

This is a powerful testimony.  I do also 
        know of a PhD student whose core dataset is the KICTAnet 
        archives.   And others who got jobs/scholarships arising from 
        KICTAnet posts.  I think these are some of the stories that we want 
        to hear from the "horses" mouth...

However, on the flip-side, I 
        think we should also welcome the negative experiences - or challenges as 
        it were - so that we can improve going forward.

        taken the liberty to tweak the subject to include KICTAnet

          Hi All,

My name is Ben Akoh and I am one 
          of many lurkers on this list, and on many
others. I am not Kenyan, 
          I have visited the country several times, I will
be visiting it in 
          the next month, I love it, its people, and have very
good friends 
          there.

I participated in one of the earlier public forums that 
          helped to shape
Kictanet and that fed into the numerous fiber 
          initiatives to which you and
most of us now enjoy: directly when we 
          visit the country, and indirectly
when we interact with good people 
          like yourselves who continue to pave the
way for how public 
          consultation can shape future growth and development.

My 
          comments are along three lines:

1. The benefits of lurkers: 
          Being a lurker is not necessary a bad thing.
Some of us continue to 
          benefit from this list and learn good practices
that inform public 
          policy in many other areas. For instance, the Kictanet
model is 
          replicated across several national discussion lists in West
Africa 
          and have been suggested as a useful model for public 
          consultation
on policy issues. Lurkers benefit through propagate 
          the good dialogues
that emanate from this group in other forums 
          beyond yours. See this as
Kenya's export to the knowledge and 
          information economy.

2. Questioning is good: Seeking ways 
          through which this forum would become
more relevant is also not 
          necessarily a bad thing. Questioning leads to
improvement. The day 
          that every member of this group thinks that the list
has arrived 
          (group think), is the day it begins to slowly die a death.
Thus, a 
          constant review, as someone mentioned, against Kictanet's 
          initial
objectives is a good starting point; documenting its 
          progress over the
years through careful research (as another person 
          mentioned) is also
important. But significant consideration should 
          be given to the  medium of
delivery and how this is relevant 
          to the context of the times. "The medium
is the message" (Marshall 
          McLuhan). The medium should thus respond to the
demands of the 
          time. Considerations should be given to those for whom
policy is 
          deliberated but who do not have access to deliberate in its
present 
          form.

3. Kicktanet is one of several model that works: I am 
          currently finalizing
a toolkit (ebook and wiki) of several models 
          that have worked for
generating evidence and for seeking consent of 
          those whom policy will
affect using case studies of good practice 
          models implemented  across the
world. Kictanet and this 
          discussion list is featured prominently as one of
them. I hope to 
          share the outcome of this research once it has 
          been
published.

In sum, all these go to say that:

1. 
          The list is useful to both lurkers and active members.
2. Its 
          influence transcends Kenya and contributes to shaping policy 
          and
policy consultation beyond its borders.
3. The medium should 
          respond to the dynamic context of communication
technologies, and 
          cater to the local context as well as the growing needs
of its 
          audience - present and future. It should therefore be 
          shaped
accordingly.

My two bob.

Ben
A 
          lurker.
