>> you hinted on calling an Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM). But my question has not been answered - when is the next AGM due? It could be next week and so no need for the EGM. Further, where is the KENIC constitution. Perhaps we need to review it before suggesting things that maybe good but "illegal" as far as the KENIC constituion is concerned.

>> Another glaring thing I have noted from the minutes is the Board Membership as constituted. CCK has such a significant number of membership in the KENIC Board. Now, seeing as things are going, I'd like to imagine that KENIC operates in the same space as the ISPs - or almost. With the recently introduced Kenya Communications Bill 2009, I suppose KENIC is supposed to be licensed just like the ISPs, and by this, it calls for all those in the KENIC board who are associated with CCK to step aside, right? Their continued presence in the KENIC Board seems like an illegality.

>> Last but not least, what does the KENIC constitution say as regards the tenure of the Board Members? Can they sit there forever or is there a time limit?
