It is great that someone has taken a step towards the realisation of a local ISOC chapter. Thanks Barrack and others!
I join others in supporting this initiative. Go ISOC Kenya!
Grace.

I have been in the frontline championing for a ISOC chapter in Kenya. I even hinted on this mailing list about the same some time back. I think Alice is aware of it. I will be the first one to attend the meeting to chart the way forward to form a Kenyan chapter. This is indeed a good move in the right direction.
