Kevit - I think one needs to be careful when handling KEPSA and KIF at the same
time. Do not use your foothold in KEPSA to promote KIF at the expense of other
associations. The explanation is very simple: KEPSA was formed as a focal
point, a bringing together characterised by INCLUSIVITY. KIF on the other hand
is an independent association and the nature of such an association is
EXCLUSIVITY (through membership mechanism). I would like to see the promotion
of more associations on the KEPSA ICT Board, not just KIF. Please give us
space.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
