Well said Dr. Siganga, being a man of faith i am sure the meeting is still on , am just amazed at the way stakeholders are handling the meeting, we are so Lukewarm who is supposed to sensitize the public on the benefits of such a meeting as Becky has captured it??, where is Kenya ICT Board, where is Kenya Tourism Board? this event should be given the prominence it deserves , so many Kenyans are going to benefit from it Kudos to KENIC for your tireless efforts, we need to rally all stakeholders to give this event the prominence it requires, lets rise to the occasion and show the world that we can Regards On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 7:13 PM, waudo siganga <emailsignet@mailcan.com> wrote:
My advise to the local Internet community is on the same lines as that from Grace Bomu and Adam Peake: if we want in the long run to be creators rather than observers of what is happening with ICANN then please VOLUNTEER to serve. All the decision-making positions are volunteer positions and there are negligible Africans there. This goes beyond the limited annual NOMCOM openings. One can volunteer to be active in a CONSTITUENCY or a support organization. Recently Alex Gakuru got a post in the Non-Commercial Users Constituency and that was a good first step. These constituencies also make their independent appointments to the BOARD, GNSO, NOMCOM,etc. While awaiting updates on the fate of the Nairobi meeting we should also think strategically.
Waudo What is possible must be done; what is impossible can be done.
