Thanks Wainaina. I have taken note and will amend the work plan accordingly ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wainaina Mungai" <wainaina.mungai@oneworld.net> To: "'Kenya ICT Policy - kictanet'" <kictanet@kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 10:11 AM Subject: RE: [Kictanet] Work plan and budget

Hi Alice,

Thanks for this. I will do the budget for SMS broadcasts asap. We have already started work on this.

For the research on ICT and the Environment/SD, the book will be out next month and we can build on it as we assess the opportunities in sectoral policies, the National Environment Action Plan (NEAP) that is being revised, etc. I will be promoting the book in Brno, Czech Republic and at Precom3 of WSIS next month.

Just like James Nguo's work on Consumer protection, the research was done in my personal capacity with support from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) in Canada. The IDRC-funded project is on "Next Generation Policy Directions: Linkages between Information Society and Sustainable Development". It would thus be best to reflect it in the workplan that it would be led by Wainaina (for IISD).

Regards, Wainaina

Dear All

Attached is the work plan for KICATNET that was discussed during the monthly meeting held last week. I would like to urge all those organisations that took responsibility for the various activities to kindly work out the budgets and send them to me. For example, One world is organising the sms broadcasts Re; Consumer awareness. Wainaina please develop a budget for this. KIF for the 2006 national convention, etc etc

thanks and kind regards

In this email I will try to summarize the picture that emerged by the end of last week's discussion on the desired structuire 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? 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 --------------------------------- To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
