Apart from JKUAT and FOSSFA, which other organisations in Kenya have submitted commitments into the WSIS Golden Book? - http://www.itu.int/wsis/goldenbook/search.asp It would be refreshing to see what the government has on offer to match the commitments by JKAUT & FOSSFA, below:.

RE: [Fwd: [Kictanet] KICTANet Planning Meeting - Notice to Postpone
by Wainaina Mungai 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Dear All, I second the change of date and suggest that we add one more item to the agenda. We have a request by Global NetCorps (GNC) - an initiative of Digital Opportunity Trust - to meet with especially members of the KICTANet civil society caucus on the same day. They are planning the launch of NetCorps in Kenya. We could have them present to us between 2:30pm and 3:30pm. If members could read through the GSM Consumer forum Report ciculated earlier, and come in by 2pm, we could comfortably include this extra item.

As such I am proposing we shift the Monthly KICTAnet meeting to the following week, Tue 8th Nov 2005, Jacaranda Hotel, 2:00-5:00p.m. Proposed Agenda 1.

Podcast primer
by alice＠apc.org 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

++ Podcast primer This is a quick and dirty guide to Podcasting... in short, how to hear ours and other Podcasts with the minimum of fuss. 1. What is a Podcast? It's basically an MP3 audio file added to an RSS feed that can be easily downloaded and accessed by your computers' media player and/or your portable MP3/audio player. 2. What do I need to download a Podcast? You'll need a Podcast client, or software application. There's a few to choose from, but to make things easy we'll recommend iPodder Lemon. It's available for Windows, Linux and Apple operating systems. Download iPodder: http://ipodder.sourceforge.net 3. Ok, I have iPodder. What's next? Fire up iPodder and go to the "Tools" menu. Select "Add a feed". In the URL field add the Secession Podcast link: http://toysatellite.org/secession/podcast.xml Then press "Save". You might also want to add the KunstRadio Podcast too: http://kunstradio.at/kunstradio.xml Now go to the "Subscriptions" tab. Highlight the feed you want to download. If you're online all Podcasts from that feed will be listed. Tick the one you want, go back to the "Tools" menu and select "Check selected". Your feed will now download and be ready for listening... 4. Er... but where will I find my downloaded Podcasts? Good question! Under the "File" menu select "Preferences". Under the "General" tab you'll see a path to the folder where iPodder has automatically created a download directory. 5. Anything else before I give this a go? Sure! Drop us a line and let us know how you go... leave a message as a comment to this primer. Have fun... live lightly, shine brightly. http://www.toysatellite.org/secession/news/podcast_primer.php +++ SECESSION RECORDS || secession(a)toysatellite.org +++ new releases: http://www.toysatellite.org/secession/releases/ Alice Wanjira National Coordinator, Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa (CATIA) Association for Progressive Communications (APC) alice(a)apc.org http://www.apc.org http://www.catia.ws

Communications Governance (expanced Internet Governance)
by gakuru＠mail.co.ke 29 Oct '05

29 Oct '05

Hi, Information Society envisages information sharing, in an environment of information business enterprise while respecting intellectual property. Communication control by governments is one thing the individual business are united aginst. Once this is fully achieved, Lord forbid there need a subsequent fight by the consumer to reclaim the same rights, this time from big business' pure profit motive? Should the WSIS IG debate not be expanded to "Communications Governance" to encompass every aspect of communications without restrictiing it to just one aspect of communication, the internet? While at this, some colleagues and I are proceeding with formation of consumer rights advocacy framework based on the very successful www.bbb.org. I welcome your comments, support or critique on the same. PLEASE NOTE: my yahoo email address is centerlawit(a)yahoo.com. Thanks Best, Alex Gakuru Attached: 1. My Oct 25 presentation are requested of me 2. There are a couple of questions that need to be answered by Safaricom and Celtel and the MC assured, the questions will be put to the firms. Should I post them on the list as an extension of the public forum? Advice!
