<DIV>I think we need to remember that just like in any other forum, there are
always the very few who engage in discussions while most do the listening.
That is typical human behaviour, and it is therefore not odd nor
is Kictanet dying because not all subscribed listers are actively
participating.</DIV>
<DIV>Personally, I am quite happy with the forum. And there has been so
much to learn and listen to in the various debates- very useful.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>Hi All,<BR><BR>My name is Ben Akoh and I am one
of many lurkers on this list, and on many<BR>others. I am not Kenyan,
I have visited the country several times, I will<BR>be visiting it in
the next month, I love it, its people, and have very<BR>good friends
there.<BR><BR>I participated in one of the earlier public forums that
helped to shape<BR>Kictanet and that fed into the numerous fiber
initiatives to which you and<BR>most of us now enjoy: directly when we
visit the country, and indirectly<BR>when we interact with good people
like yourselves who continue to pave the<BR>way for how public
consultation can shape future growth and development.<BR><BR>My
comments are along three lines:<BR><BR>1. The benefits of lurkers:
Being a lurker is not necessary a bad thing.<BR>Some of us continue to
benefit from this list and learn good practices<BR>that inform public
policy in many other areas. For instance, the Kictanet<BR>model is
replicated across several national discussion lists in West<BR>Africa
and have been suggested as a useful model for public
consultation<BR>on policy issues. Lurkers benefit through propagate
the good dialogues<BR>that emanate from this group in other forums
beyond yours. See this as<BR>Kenya's export to the knowledge and
information economy.<BR><BR>2. Questioning is good: Seeking ways
through which this forum would become<BR>more relevant is also not
necessarily a bad thing. Questioning leads to<BR>improvement. The day
that every member of this group thinks that the list<BR>has arrived
(group think), is the day it begins to slowly die a death.<BR>Thus, a
constant review, as someone mentioned, against Kictanet's
initial<BR>objectives is a good starting point; documenting its
progress over the<BR>years through careful research (as another person
mentioned) is also<BR>important. But significant consideration should
be given to the medium of<BR>delivery and how this is relevant
to the context of the times. "The medium<BR>is the message" (Marshall
McLuhan). The medium should thus respond to the<BR>demands of the
time. Considerations should be given to those for whom<BR>policy is
deliberated but who do not have access to deliberate in its<BR>present
form.<BR><BR>3. Kicktanet is one of several model that works: I am
currently finalizing<BR>a toolkit (ebook and wiki) of several models
that have worked for<BR>generating evidence and for seeking consent of
those whom policy will<BR>affect using case studies of good practice
models implemented across the<BR>world. Kictanet and this
discussion list is featured prominently as one of<BR>them. I hope to
share the outcome of this research once it has
been<BR>published.<BR><BR>In sum, all these go to say that:<BR><BR>1.
The list is useful to both lurkers and active members.<BR>2. Its
influence transcends Kenya and contributes to shaping policy
and<BR>policy consultation beyond its borders.<BR>3. The medium should
respond to the dynamic context of communication<BR>technologies, and
cater to the local context as well as the growing needs<BR>of its
audience - present and future. It should therefore be
shaped<BR>accordingly.<BR><BR>My two bob.<BR><BR>Ben<BR>A
