<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Colleagues , <br><br></div>Thank for your observation, the best question to ask is what can i do to change the prevailing circumstance as opposed to who is doing what, lets do what we can with the tools that are in our hands, mailing lists such as this one exist so that we can make our voices heard but we are all responsible for taking initiative, i think the issues beforend have been discussed over the last couple of years and it is time to act, the question is who is ready? we all come from counties and we know the needs therein, lets use the power of the Internet to harness resources that will make this a reality.<br>

are very good points raised and a good question indeed who is
representing ISOC-KE on this big occasion and what did members
contribute to make it be an ISOC-KE stand. Innovation you said and
ISOC-KE should be taking this seriously to the next level internet for
all is our motto and implementation for all should perfect it through
ICT board where ISOC-KE should be represented logically. Let our young
ISOC-KE move with speed through the office to address these issues with
sobriety and focus to break barries for development in the ICT world.</span></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif"><br><span></span></div>
