<div>I have been in the frontline championing for a ISOC chapter in Kenya. I even hinted on this mailing list about the same some time back. I think Alice is aware of it. I will be the first one to attend the meeting to chart the way forward to form a Kenyan chapter. This is indeed a good move in the right direction.</div>
