Ali and Alice et Al

Ali, your concerns are noted. Both topics will be covered. The first under ITR's and the second under intermediary liability.

Alice, the suggested topics are not cast in stone. Once we get views from listers, some topics will have to go (deleted from our list), others amended, others consolidated under one theme etc. Treat this as a draft. The final one will be out on Tuesday.

Could we possibly add:-

1. Kenya's position on the current debate on the direction of Internet Freedom & Governance (or at least start discussion on it and developing consensus)

2. Net Neutrality - This topic is bound to start eliciting heated emotions as it has in the US where content developers and owners have had to compromise with ISPs & Telcos. We have already seen debates on whether to block torrents and one telco going as far as terminating 'unlimited' bundles because of 'misuse'.

For more on Net Neutrality

Listers

Greetings.

Further to my message this morning, I now can confirm that the Kenya IGF will take place on Friday July 6, 2012. KENIC will be supporting this event. Details of the venue will be communicated in due course.

As is our tradition and in line with getting ready for the IGF, we propose to have the online debate here on the list for five days starting next week on Wednesday (June 13-20).

The proposed topics for discussion are as follows:
ITRs
Intermediary liability
Technology and violence against women
Open data
Infrastructure.
CCK and Network Monitoring

Are there other topics that you wish to suggest?

Kindly get back to us by Monday close of business with your suggestions. Can listers also suggest a theme?

We will need Tuesday to harmonize the suggested topics and prepare for the online discussion.

Kind Regards
Grace, Barrack and KENIC.
