Dear colleagues, We have not moved at the desired pace but none the less we have made strides in so far as formation of the Kenyan ISOC chapter is concerned, join me in appreciating Q-NET through Anne Wanjiru for sponsoring a venue for our monthly meetings at the heart of the Central Business District, the i-Hub for hosting our inaugural meeting thanks to Paul Muchene, ISOC ambassador for facilitating the meeting and being the first ambassador to share his experience, KeNIC for sponsoring the domain name for ISOC Kenya and hosting the Website, Charles for designing the first website, Seth Orlale for creating the ISOC group on Face book and for the regular updates, McTim, for your insights on chapter formation, Grace for your legal expertise, for managing the membership, Phares for creating the list, sponsoring and administering it. Lastly to all members and the ISOC Chapter formation office for participating in the meetings and contributing to our future strategy, lets focus on doing more in 2012 and building the future of the Internet in Kenya together. Happy holidays and see you on Saturday 21st January 2012 at Q-NET view park towers 10th Floor. Best Regards -- Barrack O. Otieno +254721325277 +254-20-2498789 Skype: barrack.otieno
