[kictanet] TODAY’S DEADLINE: Public Consultation on National Broadband Strategy for Kenya

Fri Mar 15 13:43:49 EAT 2019

 What is the process for gerting an extension? We can draft a letter to CA.
Can we agree on how much more time we need? 
I've been reviewing and adding suggestions/remarks on the document. Who else is? Can we coordinate, merge our contributions and submit an interim edit to CA before COB, even as we seek more time?
Pls ensure "track changes" is enabled. 
Brgds,Patrick.

Are we to assume that concerns raised here regarding today’s deadline for submitting comments have gone unheard? 

Regards, 
Nanjira.
