<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Listers,<br><br></div>So during the weekend there was some discussion with the tech community over things such as the implications for the visit of figures like Mark Zukerberg. And how as a market we need to respond to such visits and get the correct narrative out there, and create a conducive structure that allows for the conversion of these narrative to action points. But for such things to happen the very foundation needs to have a think tank.<br><br></div><div>The argument is that even if we do have the ICT Policy, honors is on us as a tech community to organize ourselves around how to consume that policy.<br></div><div><br></div>In a way Kictanet is doing well in this regard. Perhaps (and this is up for discussion), how do we take things a step further to not only discuss, but to journal (and expose these journals - and have a life cycle for these journals), over a period of time, such vital discussions. This also includes channeling trough Kictanet the correct discussion points. Inspiration can be borrowed from how Ali sometimes blogs for such things, but something a bit more stakeholder driven and a lot more neutral. It can also be once a month or on a need basis. Can be something digest, etc..<br clear="all"></div><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><b>Ahmed Maawy</b><br>Executive Director - SwahiliBox / M-Power (CBO)<br>Curator - Global Shapers Mombasa Hub<br>Ambassador - Open Knowledge<br>Director - Startup Grind Mombasa<br>Software Developer - AJ+ / EveryLayer<br>(KE) +254 714 960 627<br>Skype: ultimateprogramer<br><br><a href="http://swahilibox.co.ke" target="_blank">swahilibox.co.ke</a><a href="http://globalshapers.org" target="_blank"><br>globalshapers.org</a><br><a href="http://okfn.org/" target="_blank">www.okfn.org</a><br><a href="http://startupgrind.com" target="_blank"><span>startupgrind.com</span></a><br><a href="http://ajplus.net" target="_blank">ajplus.net</a><br><a href="http://www.everylayer.com/" target="_blank">www.everylayer.com</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
