Dear Listers,

I do appreciate u must be fatigued by the discussions on
ICT bill because we have gone over and over it a thousand
times. But here is how I propose we do it since we only
have this week to review and am sure most of u have not
reviewed the bill document ;-).

The document has sevaral main components as listed below
(not in any priority).

1. Issues of the Regulator (setup, operations, board
appointments, etc)
2. Telecoms & Radio (setup, operations, licensing,etc)
3. Postal Services (setup, operations, licensing,etc)
4. Information Technology Sevices (setup, operations,
licensing,etc)
5. Broadcast and Media (setup, operations, licensing,etc)
6. Universal Service Fund (setup, operations)

So, the wish list Alex was asking for is basically u saying
what u would like to see taken care of under the above
topics (we shall find out for u if it is catered for in
bill on not). Tell us also what u would NOT like to see as
well. I hope that should be a lot more simpler, plse start
shooting (typing) your wishes in any order...

As an example, my 1st wish is on the Regulator, how I wish
the Director General could be nominated by the President
but vetted and appointed by Parliament. More like the
format used to arrive at the the Directors of KACC, Kenya
Anti Corruption Commission...(that was easy, right?, start
hitting your keyboard now and not tomorrow)

walu.
