speech, as enshrined in the constitution, is allowed here, but the aim of this forum is "a multi-stakeholder platform
for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy
and regulation. The network aims to act as a catalyst for reform
in the ICT sector in support of the national aim of ICT enabled
growth and development" - which I believe all members are aware of.<br>
