<div dir="ltr"><div>Goodmorning Keith,</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for starting this timely conversation. Yesterday i came across rumours in the blogosphere regarding the appointment of the Data Commissioner. Clearly Data will play a key role in this decade in our Social and Economic Spheres. We are seeing a way of life 'working from home', 'Online learning', 'e-health', 'e-agriculture' which will all be dependent on data. While contemplating how to respond to this discussion i kept asking myself whether we have or there is a need for a common definition of Data across all stakeholder groups. This could be a starting point that will make life easier for the Data Commissioner and all Stakeholder groups as a whole. Once we have a Common understanding, it will be easy to define our roles and responsibilities and use cases. We will also be able to define our Capacity building needs. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I will be back with more.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 14, 2020 at 7:36 AM Keith Andere via kictanet <<a href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><span id="gmail-m_434104871518961816gmail-docs-internal-guid-73fb1a92-7fff-9a8e-142b-83f79eb792e4"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Dear Listers,</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">I trust you are all having a great week. As you are aware this year Kenya’s 2020 IGF will be one of a kind as it will be our first ever virtual KIGF. It will be taking place on 29th October and as part of the build up to this major event, we shall be having moderated 3-day online discussions on this year’s KIGF theme.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">These discussions will allow us to not only learn some few things but also designed to allow us to dig deeper into a range of topics and ultimately apply those concepts on the Big Day!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">This year’s first sub theme is Data. The </span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Data track</span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> will provide for discussions on the fundamental challenge of ensuring the benefits of the data revolution to contribute to inclusive economic development while protecting the rights of people. Under this topic there are also matters to do with digital identity, data and jurisdiction, data driven emerging technologies, data access, quality, innovation and competition. To this end, I invite your contributions to the following questions:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"
