<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are proposing a Public Forum on Thursday 31st of July to
be held at a suitable venue in Nairobi. The objective will be to provide all
the different ICT stakeholder organisations within Kenya a chance to introduce
themselves and their policies to the public. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There will also be opportunity to evaluate Kenya's ICT
ecosystem, especially with regards to the different entities, their missions,
roles and goals. As well as provide organisations such as KEPSA with an
opportunity to share their view/vision on how they expect ICT sector
input/engagement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Formal announcement will be posted once details have been
worked out, but in the meantime please pencil this into your schedules. We can
also explore the possibility of an IP stream for the Diaspora... if there is
interest in tracking this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Warm regards,<o:p></o:p></p>

<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?.<o:p></o:p></p>

that we have democratically identified a facilitator for the forum, can we
