<p dir="ltr">Thank you Moses for the poll here<a href="https://goo.gl/R89j39"> https://goo.gl/R89j39</a>. We already have responses trickling in. I encourage the community to respond to it. It will help us prioritize depending on issues that get the most votes. Please merge 5. Enhancing Multistakeholder Cooperation ... with 9. Enhancing working partnerships between stakeholders (Multistakeholderism).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Those two are very similar as Michael Murungi has correctly observed. <br>
Michael, thank you for the feedback. We have noted your preferences. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Jane Muthiga, your rates are quite good. Thanks for the discounts. However as you are aware, sometimes we operate under tight budgets and may not be able to meet you halfway. But we will see how we can bridge that. Perhaps you can be the event publicity sponsor?</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Thank you Riva for your feedback. I am not sure the two subthemes 3 (inclusiveness and diversity) and 4 (openness) are the same. Oppenness can be defined as: "The idea of an open Internet is the idea that the full resources of the Internet and means to operate on it are easily accessible to all individuals and companies. This often includes ideas such as net neutrality, open standards, transparency, lack of Internet censorship, and low barriers to entry". Its actually more plausible to merge inclusiveness and diversity with Multistakeholderism. Inclusiveness and diversity captures issues like affirmative action on youth and gender balance, social economic gaps, and disability. Any feedback from the community on this is highly welcomed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sylvia, thanks and welcome onboard. We have captured your preference. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards</p>
