Now that we have to weigh in, I think this is an important list that it serves its purposes well. If it falls silent for some time, then it means that everyone is happy, which is not a bad thing. When its active, it means that people have issues, and they have a good place and forum to air their concerns and opinion relating to the industry.<br>
<br>As for the lurkers, they are also good to have. As someone said, one will always speak out when their area of interest is mentioned and they have an opinion to share.<br><br>Regards,<br>Evans<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">If we go back to early discussions about the multi-stakeholder network known as KICTAnet I recall there being a distinction between the mailing list participants, and those stakeholders who would actively engage in KICTAnet "activities".<u></u><u></u></span></p>

At the time there was program funding from donor to cover costs of those meetings, this has presumably, run out. Which leads me to ask, can we mobilise funds locally? At least for these gatherings? As they will give a greater element of traction to the organization while ensuring that it continues to remain relevant within the sector.
