John,<br>It's not that am opposed to the discussion per se. I just feel its time to move things a notch higher and engage positively with the problem rather than just discuss passively so that we end up being part of the solution.<br>
As an example, Red Cross has been sending signals that they overwhelmed with logistics in reaching those in need of aid. How can ICT/Kictanet help in mapping the regions, developing databases of resources versus populations affected etc. Can we maybe contact Red Cross and ask for their requirements then help them out???<br>

Bill,<br><br>Indeed I debated within myself this question. In the midst<br>of all the chaos I wondered:<br><br>1. Is it possible to remain focus and discuss ICT issues<br>2. Shouldnt we pause and review the issues after the chaos<br>
