Dear Listers, I came to learn the Treasury has issued a call for public comments on the Budget Policy Statement 2019. I never saw any particular firm plans the Government has for ICT so I thought it best to bring this to your attention, albeit a little later than I should have. I could be wrong, though. Maybe I had high expectations owing to the exposure I get from you all. What I love about this group is there are so many diverse opinions on various issues. I think it would be great to let the Government hear all these well - considered opinions on its ICT plans. The deadline for institutions to put in their comments was on Friday, which means Kictanet might not be able to, but as individuals you would be able to participate. The deadline for submitting our comments is 31st January 2019, i.e. this Thursday. I created a public Google folder for this purpose. You can access it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LsgzmXlEgPagqUDN-qQqlQEeEzK9pYqM You are free to share this widely. Kind regards, Deborah
