Whether you are changing your tactical gambit or creating a new email address to light another tinderbox, you should be courageous enough not to hide your identity at cybercafes to push your agenda. What happened here today was 'out of order' and I hope the concerned aggrieved parties do take this matter to the relevant authorities at least as a deterrent measure for future escapades. I hope that very soon, we shall see the real face of Onyango Hatari who attempted to under-estimate the intelligence of this community by planting seeds of discord as soon as the long arm of the law catches up with him. I for one, will bear witness to the sad events that transpired today. I am confident we shall see an 'arrest' soon.

You have missed the whole point as expected!! And sorry I will not give you the pleasure of being drawn into the level of arguing nor engage you as I know there will only be disgrace to be gained. I certainly feel sorry for you and hope you hope someone can help you soon. Pole sana. As for kictanet, this very juvenile language/ communication and level of thinking or interpreting matters of national importance is an embarrassment to the country, given the subscription nos. The real debate should be how to streamline debates so that they are of high quality! Alice, Walu over to you.

And now you bring Ringera issue into ICT matters. Wako was very wrong like he has been. There is no way a court ruling can bind the Kenyan parliament. There is separation of powers and thank God you will be excused because you are a marketer and seems to have very minute knowledge on law. The fact that you bring Ringera issues is suspect because first you have used the same bad laws to hinder people from accessing ICT Board and when access has been imminent you have tried to force peopel to have sex with you so that they get favours from ICT Board. Dont try to act like an angel. We know what you are doing. How do you expect people to be objective while you at ICT Board have not been objective nor fair to anyone. Be serious. Stop kidding us.

The Way Forward...my 2 bob... WAS: Re: Invitation: 2009 EA-IGF, 7-9 September 2009, Nairobi, Kenya
by McTim 09 Sep '09

Ladies and Gents, I have been thinking about this a great deal over the last few days. My position remains the same, the IGF (global one) is not a negotiating, output focused body. HOWEVER, there is no reason the National or Regional IGFs cannot produce outputs to help local and regional policy makers. As much as I applaud the fantastic organisational job done to bring this EAIGF about, I think that IF this body wants to actually produce a useful output for policy makers, it needs to shift format a bit. Instead of being a "presentations with a few questions at the end" kind of thing, I think that breaking up into subject matter working groups (with associated mailing lists per subject) over the course of the year will be more likely to produce useful frameworks for policy makers.

Invitation: 2009 EA-IGF, 7-9 September 2009, Nairobi, Kenya
by Vincent Ngundi 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

[reminder]: 2009 EA-IGF - http://www.eaigf.or.ke Dear Colleagues, The competitiveness of our economies is increasingly dependent on the Internet and therefore mainstreaming our region in the cyberspace is of paramount importance. The challenges to achieve the knowledge economy in our region have been identified as: * Access to Broadband (at the village, in schools, in banks, in manufacturing); * Cyber Security, Trust and Privacy (for banks, for the government, for he individual user); * Policy, Legal and Regulatory Issues (to make access to Internet available and affordable, to protect consumers); * Critical Internet Resources (to ensure the stability, growth and security of the Internet); * Internet User and Consumer Protection (to protect your online identity, to protect your personal data, to guarantee your right to communicate and to information and knowledge). To address these issues at the regional level KICTANet, KENIC and other participating organizations have brought together participants from the East Africa countries of Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. They will be joined by delegates from the international community including the United Kingdom (UK), Japan, the United States of America (USA) and Canada among others. The expected outcome of this will be a framework that ushers the region into the digital economy. The outcome will also be a negotiating platform during the fourth United Nations Internet Governance Forum (UN IGF) taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November 2009, the African Information Society conference in Addis Ababa in January 2010 as well as set the stage for the 37th Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) meeting to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, in March 2010. This is to therefore invite you as key Internet stakeholder in the region to join the leaders to help formulate the strategy for the future of the Internet. Kindly visit the website www.eaigf.or.ke <http://www.eaigf.or.ke> to register for next week¹s internet governance meeting: 7th - 9th September at the Jacaranda Hotel. Kind Regards, ----------- Vincent Ngundi Administrative Manager KENIC - The Kenya Network Information Centre http://www.kenic.or.ke vincent(a)kenic.or.ke [T] +254 20 4450057/8 [C] +254 20 2398036 [M] +254 733 790073 [F] +254 20 4450087 ³dot KE for Every Name in Kenya!²
