Dear listers and fellow IGF stakeholders,
Firstly, I would like to extend my appreciation to the organisers of last year's Kenya IGF. The meeting was indeed a success and we witnessed in the Kenya IGF and in subsequent meetings, how discussions and outcomes regarding the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) forged the policy position for the Kenyan delegation to Dubai. We hope in this year's Kenya IGF, more can be accomplished.
As you are all aware this year the ISOC Kenyan chapter will be planning, hosting and co-ordinating the local IGF. The event is slotted for the month of May.
Because the IGF is a multi-stakeholder meeting, as such I believe stakeholders should be consulted in the planning and preparation of such an important meeting. Indeed as the chapter, we've just barely began the ground work and we'll need all the necessary inputs from the wider stakeholder community to properly plan and execute the meeting.
I would like to suggest a first meet up in the second week of March (11th - 16th). I have no qualms hosting the meeting at the iHub (coffee would be on me :) but I'll leave the stakeholders to agree on what date and time best suits them. Let me know what works for you. I'll also work with fellow organisers to draft an agenda and circulate it in the list before the first meet up.
I welcome your contributions to this discussion.
Kind Regards,
Paul Muchene. _______________________________________________ isoc mailing list isoc@orion.my.co.ke http://orion.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/isoc
