KIGF 2013: Call for Topics
As we resolved during the last Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF), the Internet Society Kenya Chapter (ISOC KE) will be convening this year's KIGF. ISOC KE formed a working group to coordinate the planning and logistics of the same. The working group has slated the KIGF to be on the 26th July 2013 at the Strathmore University Business School. The working group sat for two meetings and identified Internet Governance issues pertinent to the Internet and ICT sector in Kenya. These issues are not exhaustive and we therefore invite input from the public to propose topics of interest to be discussed at the KIGF. The topics can be drawn from the main IGF themes or any issues that are of interest to Kenyans. Some of the topical areas proposed by the working group are: Electronic Voting CyberSecurity Social Media: Digital Migration Legal Issues: Intellectual Property Rights, Data protection bill, E-commerce E-governance ICT and Education Connectivity Strategies: Emphasis in connecting the Counties Universal Access: Universal Access Fund Smart Cities: Konza as a case study WCIT: Taking stock Please send your suggestions by replying to this email on or before Monday 13th May. Looking forward to your contributions. Kindest Regards, Paul Muchene Chair, KIGF Working Group
I think you can add devolution to the list, though it can be a cross-cutting issue across some of what's on the list already. We could look at the role of ICT - in facilitating citizen participation in governance; enhancing service delivery; business opportunities - are companies/professionals/public ready to engage?
