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 lurker.<br><br><br>On Thu, April 12, 2012 8:59 am, Evans Ikua wrote:<br>> Now that we have to weigh in, I think this is an important list that it<br>> serves its purposes well.
