<p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 35.4pt;">Dear All,<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">As documents
and services are increasingly transformed from paper to electronic form, there
is a growing problem that governments and their constituents as well as private
enterprises may not be able to access, retrieve and use critical records,
information and documents in the future. To enable the public and private
sector to have greater control over and direct management of their own records,
information and documents, it is important that we adopt and advance the use of
the OpenDocument Format (ODF).<br>
<br>
It is important that all policymakers, IT administrators, decision mankers (for
both public and private) advance the benefits and opportunities of the OpenDocument
Format, to help ensure that government and private enterprise information,
records and documents are accessible across platforms and applications, even as
technologies change today and in the future. <br>
<br>
Thanks to KEBS for moving Kenya forward on this.<br>
<br>
Kindly take two minutes to review and complete the document for adoption. Most
importantly, remember to submit your signed form back to KEBS.<br>
<br>
Thanks Alex for sharing this.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Muthoni</span></p>
