Bill, Indeed I debated within myself this question. In the midst of all the chaos I wondered: 1. Is it possible to remain focus and discuss ICT issues 2. Shouldnt we pause and review the issues after the chaos has subsided? 3. Are we doing the victims some injustice by talking ICT as they continue to die? I notice Brian has already commenced the discussion but please feel free to call for an injuction of the process and we shall go by the majority vote. walu. --- Bill Kagai <mediacorp.research@mediacorp.co.ke> wrote:
John, With all due respect I don't think this is the time to do a postmortem for we are still in the mess. This could be the opportunity for kictanet to move from policy oriented discussion to actual engagement on the ground.
A key role Kictanet could possibly play is ensuring that the facts on the ground are being reported accurately in our ICT media and maybe to strengthen those who are using ICTs to help solve this problem. www.ushahidi.com is one good example.

Greetings all,
As mentioned last friday, we need to engage positively around the current crisis stalking our country. One suggested method was that we share experiences, impacts and how we are coping with the challenges occassioned. The overal aim is to enable members to learn from each other while emphasising the impact the crises continues to have on ICT organisations.
Today is Day 1 and from the program below. We have 2days to share the challenges posed by the Post Election Violence on ICT organisations.
I know quite abit is already shared in the press but no harm done if a brief re-run on our list for the benefit of those who may have missed out. So feel free to speak as (Telco) Operators, Consumers,ICT Service Providers(BPO,ISPs,etc) Media, Academia or all of the above ;-)
