Hi Tim,<br>
<br>
Thanks for always taking this up and offering to coordinate town hall<br>
meetings.<br>
Yes lets go for it....ICT institution, what do we have? What is lacking,<br>
what do we need.<br>
<br>
KICTAnet will support the usual teas/coffees for about 25-50 or so people<br>
<br>
And then we must organize another to discuss the cyber security policy<br>
that the P.S posted to the list.<br>
So, please do go ahead, and organize for both soon at Arziki<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks and very best<br>
<br>

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