Barrack,
Just joined the mailinglist. The last time I was on the ISOC website,I was shocked that Kenyan members were too few that we did not meet the threshold to form a local chapter yet Rwanda had an ISOC chapter? Let's get this done, Kenya should have had an ISOC Chapter years ago. The South African chapter is quite active and has been operating for decades now and I think it's time for ISOC Kenya! It would be a rich (and necessary) addition to the existing menu of fora for discussing the direction of internet in our country. I look forward to our first meeting!
Regards

Dear Colleagues,
There has been growing interest on various lists to have a local ISOC Chapter up and running, we have had many Kenyans participate in ISOC programs as fellows, unfortunately we haven't had a forum where we can share the knowledge and experiences gained through the fellowship opportunities. The purpose of this email is to invite all interested parties to join a mailing list that has been created to bring together interested stakeholders so that we can deliberate on how to establish an open and inclusive ISOC chapter that will be based on a multistakeholder model. Kindly note that we will be required to be global ISOC members as a prerequistite.https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/NewMemberStepOne.aspx. Below please find instructions on how to join the mailing list.
