Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

Listers, Might be of interest.

A very critical part of these networks consists of end nodes with various operating systems(Android, MACOS, Linux...) Deploying IPv6 in this type of environment should factor in all the different operating systems and their different default behaviour. In this webinar, we are going to look at how an enterprise network can deploy IPv6 to end nodes covering factors that need to be considered in various environments. Below are the detailed objectives. 1. Outline the steps an enterprise network needs to take, to be IPv6 ready 2. Explain IPv6 Neighbor discovery 3. Understand and configure SLAAC, Stateful and Stateless DHCPv6 4. Outline various deployment scenarios and advise which provisioning technique to use 5. Describe IPv6 security considerations for end nodes Date: 5th December 2019 Time: 16:30 GST (Mauritius, Seychelles) - 12:30 UTC (Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire) - 13:30 WAT (Nigeria, Cameroon) - 15:30 EAT (Kenya, Uganda) - 14:30 SAST (South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini) This webinar will be in English, as usual, a French version will be organised later.

NEW DATA PROTECTION LAW NECESSITATES COMPLIANCE POLICIES IN ORGANISATIONS
by Tom Kabau 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hello Listers, As you are aware, personal data has become an extremely vital economic and governance resource in the contemporary information age. Vast amounts of personal data of Kenyans is collected, processed, shared and exploited by public organisations, private entities and business corporations locally and globally on a daily basis. In Kenya, this has necessitated regulation of the collection and management of personal data by organisations and corporations, resulting in the enactment of the Data Protection Act ... corporations and organisations have to, inevitably, develop legally sound and comprehensive data protection and usage policies and statements to guide their staff, agents, assignees and licensees on the acceptable data management practices in order to avoid legal liability. For further details, download my brief commentary at: http://www.lesinkonjoroge.com/New-Data-Protection-Law-Necessitates-Complian… -- Dr. Tom Kabau PhD (University of Hong Kong), LLM and LLB (University of Nairobi) Senior Lecturer and Chair of Law, Science and Technology Department School of Law Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Nairobi Cell Phone: +254 721 628646 / +254 735 070312 Advocate and Legal Consultant Lesinko, Njoroge & Gathogo Advocates http://www.lesinkonjoroge.com/ Select Publications: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1600181
