Fw: URGENT - feedback on site design for national advocacysites
by alice＠apc.org 20 May '05

20 May '05

Dear KICTANet members The APC/CATIA project is developing a national advocacy website for our activities in Kenya. Please look at the draft site: http://toolkit.ecn.cz/test/animators/3/ Keep in mind the following: - the text on the page is 'not real' and just there to give you a sense of what the design looks like, once you make your own site live you will have control over the text - the text at the top of the site will read: Catalysing Access to ICTs in [Kenya] .... i.o.w. where there is currently the word 'country' we shall replace it with the name of the relevant country - the site is database driven and hosted on the APC server so we won't need to worry about hosting, or HTML conversion - we will be able to customise the site to meet our own needs and even give it our own look and feel if we want to - We will be able to add content to the site by using forms into which we can paste, or type text - the site can share content with other CATIA sites, with APC national ICT policy sites and with the Africa ICT Policy Monitor Please could I have your feedback on the template by next week Tuesday? In particular can you comment on: - the design - does this general layout meet our needs? - categories (are they what you need? what is missing? what should be changed?) - overall look and feel - any other questions/comments. warm regards A.

Re: Appointment of New CCK Board
by alice＠apc.org 20 May '05

20 May '05

Dear All Thank you very much for the congratulatory messages. Although I have not received official confirmation, apart from a phone call from the Ministry's office I believe this appointment is in recognition of the work of the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANET) a multi stakeholder forum, consisting of civil society, academia, private sector, media, youth, gender groups and development partners. I must also congratulate the Kenya government for acknowledging that the complexities of meeting the challenges of ICTs as an enabler of sustainable development requires bringing together major stakeholders in a new form of decision finding, decision-making and communication. I hope this will provide an opportunity for a truly participatory process. A.

Dear KICTANET members, Find attached rough (ignore typo's etc) notes taken during the monthly planning meeting that took place on May 4, 2005 at the jacaranda hotel. Please note that there was a concern raised regarding the chronic absence of some members of the network during the planning meetings and I would wish to take this opportunity to encourage network members to at least attend or send their proxy to attend these monthly planning meetings, which are used for brainstorming and strategic planning. Also kindly note urgent action points: 1. Awareness creation campaign parliamentary group that is being coordinated by KIF, Charles could you kindly send an update to the list. 2. Fundraising activities, members responsible, Florence, Brian, Willie, Alice, and PS ministry information and communication. I shall share the draft proposal with you all shortly thanks, if there are any comments/clarifications please let me know kind regards A.
