<title>Re: [kictanet] Forum Agenda - Lets focus</title>
</head>
<body dir="ltr">
<p>Hi Harry - Thank you for your initiative. As we follow up I think we need to first establish who is going to be the audience. Is it Kictanet list members, public, or who?. And if public how do we market? Defining the audience will help us to ensure we have an agenda that sufficiently interests them otherwise we may end up with an empty hall. As an indicator I noted that hardly 30 people from the list voted for the facilitator out of a list population of, I presume, over 500. So should we focus or broaden the agenda given the statistics so far?.</p><p>Waudo</p><p> </p><pre>On Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:28:16 +0300, "Harry Hare" <harry@africanedevelopment.org> said:
