Hi Harry - Thank you for your initiative. As we follow up I think we need to first establish who is going to be the audience. Is it Kictanet list members, public, or who?. And if public how do we market? Defining the audience will help us to ensure we have an agenda that sufficiently interests them otherwise we may end up with an empty hall. As an indicator I noted that hardly 30 people from the list voted for the facilitator out of a list population of, I presume, over 500. So should we focus or broaden the agenda given the statistics so far?.

Dear Colleagues,
Now that we have democratically identified a facilitator for the forum, can we collectively discuss the agenda of the meeting? This will help in making sure that we achieve what we want to do at the forum.
So to begin with, I had floated some issues, so probably we could use the next few days to “panel beat” and come up with a concise programme for the forum. I reproduce the ideas I had floated earlier for you indulgence.
Harry
