Dear all,<br>The discussion needs to be on the institutional framework for ICTs in Kenya, not just on KICTB. It needs to cover KICTB, NCS and DEG/GITS. It also needs to include the plethora of ICT industry associations that are not effective. I can organize such a townhall meeting in Chiromo like the first one. However, for such a meeting to be useful, it needs to be preceded by some guided discussion on the same. Alternatively, one or two persons can prepare presenations to guide the discussions, with these presentations being made available earlier for participants to acquint with them. I am also prepared to be one of those persons. tim<br>

Daktari,<br>
<br>
Thank you for setting the ball rolling, not sure i saw the document as<br>
well it must have been hijacked. A town hall meeting is a welcome idea<br>
i second it, Kippra felt sufficiently philanthropic before the last<br>
town hall meeting i wonder whether they can double their offer during<br>
this easter season, bwn Magolo can we count on you. Walu can set the<br>
agenda.<br>
<br>
