Hi,

To reiterate what Brian as said, KENIC catered or 70 participants who had indicated that they shall attend only for 30 people to show up.

Please, when you are sure you have no intention of attending do not register as you cause the organisers to lose money.  It is time we realised that sending a confirmation is not the same as clicking "like" on facebook or on an advert.

Regards

Kivuva,

	1. You can't send email questions at 12.45 for an AGM that started at 8am :(
	2. Why did you not come in person to have these and other concerns you have raised addressed?
	3. A frequent comment that came out at the AGM was that the very low turnout out is indicative of Kenyan's propensity to "shadow box" and shy away from meaningful engagement.
Brian

Kenic AGM Questions.

 institution to iron out issues facing the company.“It will give the board of the Kenya Network Information Centre (KeNIC) an opportunity to clear the air over all the allegations arising from the ongoing organisational restructure and create rapport on the way forward,” Mr Buruchara said.The AGM comes at a time when the institution is facing questions from the public over its decision to fire all its employees in what it says is an organisational

This came as a surprise, yet we are supposed to be stakeholders. We must all respect the spirit of the Constitution,
 especially in such a multi-stakeholder agency,” Dr Ndemo said.In reaction, Mr Buruchara, who is on a three-month contract to oversee the execution of an institutional assessment report prepared by ZappKaas Consulting and Training Ltd, said KeNIC is an organisation with a working board and people should stop questioning its decision.Currently, KeNIC is the administrator of over 20,000 domains at the .ke registry.
