<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Barrack<div>I think there is need to have a structured discussion on the list so that there will be concrete recommendations. My suggestion is that once you compile the issues that listers have raised on the matter, you categorise them into themes/areas of intervention, and then have listers debate around them and make suggestions moving forward. You could set aside some five days where each day can be dedicated to an issue, and the recommendations can form part of the f2f meeting at Strath. </div><div><br></div><div>My peni mbili.</div><div>Rgds</div><div>GG<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 16:22:24 +0300<br>From: otieno.barrack@gmail.com<br>Subject: Re: [kictanet] President Kenyatta secures Microsoft support for computers<br>CC: kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke; isoc@orion.my.co.ke<br>To: ggithaiga@hotmail.com<br><br>Daktari <br><br>The discussion will continue on list as we plan for the face to face meeting in strathmore.<br>Thank you<br><br>On Wednesday, June 5, 2013, Bitange Ndemo <<a href="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke">bitange@jambo.co.ke</a>> wrote:<br>
