Listers, we are truly unpredictable-we argue that we should charge 1,000ksh for refreshment/recording, then when a sponsor steps up to settle the bill, we argue further that we should not receive sponsorship... i would vote we take up the sponsorship offer from ICT board - i doubt they will control our minds and the agenda simply because they are buying the drinks. Otherwise we are going to even refuse Prof Waema's free venue simply because we fear he is going to somehow leverage on the same...truly Kenyan (did somebody peculiar?) walu. --- On Fri, 1/8/10, Agosta Liko <agostal@gmail.com> wrote: From: Agosta Liko <agostal@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] My 2cts: ICT Parks To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Friday, January 8, 2010, 12:30 PM Lucy / Guys My suggestion is we keep this conversation "a KICTANET" conversation and model others after it. I am concerned that if you make it an ICT Board thing, it will come with a fixed agenda and only 2 questions after the speaker when in actual sense we are looking to start a conversation that affects alot of listers. As private sector players, this is the only forum we would have to shape Government projects ... For the ICT Board, I would request that Paul Kukubo (CEO - ICT Board) address the second session .... some topics ... a. These Content Projects - how are they going, how can the private sector engage b. That Bandwidth subsidy - did it work ?, lessons learnt, what next .. c. Standards - What the ICT Board and KBS are doing towards this ... can we provide feedback as private sector players to guide this conversation
From the About us page on kictanet site ---
"KICTANet is a multi stakeholder network of members from civil society groups, private sector, development partners and media. The network aims to act as a catalyst for reform in the ICT sector in support of the government mission to enable Kenyans to gain maximum benefit from the opportunity offered by ICTs." I humbly recommend that we stick to the free room and Dr Ndemo as the first speaker .. this conversation is in the right forum.
