Forum Objectives "Clearly articulate the purpose of the forum and the expected outputs, this is important so that we can have a focussed discussion" 2. Association presentations "Brief presentations by the associations sharing their mandate, governance, objectives, activities, achievements, plans and membership composition" 3. General Discussion "Questions, Answers, Concerns etc raising from the association presentations@ 4. Way forward "General discussion on how associations could collaborate and offer high quality leadership to the sector. Agree on joint activities that have a national appeal that can work as bonding sessions" From: Brian Longwe [mailto:blongwe@gmail.com] Sent: 15 July 2008 13:01 To: harry@africanedevelopment.org Cc: kictanet-lists Subject: [kictanet] Agenda Bashing - Kenya ICT Stakeholders Forum Hi all, So let's start off with a few days of throwing around possible agenda areas. This hould give us a sense of what issues have high priority and how much time we need to set aside to deal with them. I would suggest that we have a freestyle discussion - send your proposals as a title with a short paragraph describing the point - then other (or yourself) can contribute add/subtract. Then after a reasonable period we can coalesce these inputs into a single agenda for the meeting and also decide on what format would best suit the dialogue/debate on thiat particular item. e.g. for the different ICT organisations I think a Panel format, where each group gets 15 minutes to "share" - then the audience gets a chance to "interact" - and a session moderator does a wrap up. another thing that I think would be good is to have an "Open Mic" session where for a period of time any participant can air/vent any view for 3 minutes. any other suggestions?
