John, this is terrific. Thanks for your leadership. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: John Walubengo <jwalu@yahoo.com> Reply-To: Kenya ICT Policy - kictanet <kictanet@kictanet.or.ke> Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 05:38:05 -0700 (PDT)
thanx Brian, Bill, Harry and Eric for your contributions so far. Indeed the points so far have been biased towards the mission (what KICTANet does/will do) and less on the vision (what KICTANet hopes to become).
Nevertheless, I have worked backwards from these 'mission-like' points and carved out the following three suggested vision for KICTANet.
Please feel free to edit, delete, add or mix as we try to fix a Vision statement that should be brief, precise and easy to remember.
1. To become the focal point for sharing ICT Knowledge
2. To provide a forum for promoting multi-stakeholder ICT Initiatives
3. To harness and promote multi-stakeholder ICT Initiatives.
walu. nb: Tomorrow we embark on the mission issues which should be fairly easy given the last points have given indication on what the mission statemennt would likely entail.
