Hi All,
Here are my views and some of KIF's views.
1. I think membership should be restricted to legal organisations(entities)and not individuals.
2. There should be some norminal registration fee, but more importantly, we should come up with a membership charter that spells out values and privileges etc..
3. I suggest that we should expand the mission to include WORKING TOGEHTER TO ACHIEVE THE VSIION IN THE ICT POLICY
4. Can Ben siyahanya or any other lawyer explain to us what the difference between a trust and a foundation is.
Speaking for KIF, we are all for KICTANET and as you all know, we will continue leading the ICT convention.
Cheers,

Not sure if the first email I sent out as Alias got sent out but here it is again. In this email I will try to summarize the picture that emerged by the end of last week's discussion on the desired structure for KICTANet.
We seem to have suggestions as follows:
1Mission: " Working together" (Waudo)
2 Objectives: As suggested (Florence,Alice and Nkuuhe)
3 Organisational type: Foundation/Trust (Brian)
4 Name of Trust/Foundation: Trust (for) KICTANet/KICTANet Foundation/KICTANet Trust
5 Trustess?? 5-7 Organisations with clout and respect in Kenya
6 Organisational Plan: Lean (Rigia, Harry, Mucheru) small secretariat say 3-person at any one time? Volunteers? Interns?
7 Activities/Workplan As agreed at July 29th meeting? Others?
We need to agree about the membership as well as membership managemnet/plan. So for the rest of this week it would be good to respond to these two issues.
Specifically 1) who would you say qualifies for membership in this network? and
2) how can membership be qualified or when does a member fail to be a member?
This discussion will last only to the end of this week.
Thanks and cheers,
FE

As a follow-up on this structure debate...let me assure you the process is abit more complicated in regsitering a trust. We applied to have fossfa registered as a trust 2.5 yrs ago. After paying the stamp duty, the files were taken to NSIS for them to approve the trust. We got the trust document stamped at Lands but up to date, the trust certificate is not out yet...and ofcourse you cannot push things at NSIS. You have to keep on checking at Sheria House to utter frustration. We ended up registering a company for the sake of opening a account to operationalise FOSSFA. We will rotate FOSSFA to CSIR in a few months without ever finalising the trust registration. Maybe the best option for KICTANET is to register it as an NGO...but good luck to you on the trust option. Maybe ours was a one-off case...but again...luck is the residue hard work.
