Hi Alice, Thanks for this. I will do the budget for SMS broadcasts asap. We have already started work on this. For the research on ICT and the Environment/SD, the book will be out next month and we can build on it as we assess the opportunities in sectoral policies, the National Environment Action Plan (NEAP) that is being revised, etc. I will be promoting the book in Brno, Czech Republic and at Precom3 of WSIS next month. Just like James Nguo's work on Consumer protection, the research was done in my personal capacity with support from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) in Canada. The IDRC-funded project is on "Next Generation Policy Directions: Linkages between Information Society and Sustainable Development". It would thus be best to reflect it in the workplan that it would be led by Wainaina (for IISD).
