Re: [ISOC_KE] isoc Digest, Vol 3, Issue 28

Hi All. I've just gone thro the digest and found it having very healthy divergent views all for the good of ISOC Kenya chapter. Brainstomming is good for colecting the diferent views and opinions so that we can reach for the best workable choices. Writing a document such as bylaws, constitutions or even a project proposal that can satisfy the basic set criterion is is not an easy task. Those who have experiences in that field like me can attest. I gather two proposals form the discussion: 1. To compile a draft quickly for the sake of registration and amend it later, or 2. To come up with a comprehensive document that can stand the test of time. I think we can focus and decide on either of the two. On the first option we just need to have meeting for a day or two, get the prerequisites minuted and rush to the registrar's office, whereas the second option needs time, or a few days retreat somewhere for the purpose of compiling the document. Of course this will require some costs for the venue. In my case, in case of emergencies, this is what we normally opt for because the selected guys will have enough time to discuss, research and at the end of it all, provide a ready document. There are many suggestions and opions that need to be collated analyzed and discussed. The constitution will form the basis of operations of the chapter, and this will determine & guide how it is run and managed. So it up to you guys to decide on which way to go. I know opportunities are plenty out there, but getting them will depend on the approach that we adopt. Any comments?

The Sixth Internet Governance Forum 27 -30 September 2011
by Barrack Otieno 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Listers, As you are aware Kenya will be hosting the sixth United Nations Internet Governance forum from 27 - 30 September 2011. The last forum was held in Vilnius Lithuania in September 2010 and it marked the end of the initial five year period. There was overwhelming consensus on the need to continue with the forum which brings together stakeholders involved in managing the Internet from governments, civil Society, academia and the technical community on equal footing. Kenya has been an active participant, our very own East African Internet Governance Forum and Kenya Internet Governance forum has provided a model that has been studied and replicated across the world. This is the first time the meeting is being held in Sub-Saharan Africa and we urge all listers to register, the meeting will provide a great opportunity to network with peers from all continents involved in managing the Internet. Registration closes today the 9th of September 2011. To register please visit www.igf.or.ke (Host Country Website) or ( www.intgovforum.org) Thank you Kind Regards -- Barrack O.

I agree with Vincent. Infact the whole corporate world out there can extend support and even accept to be on the board of Trustees and even offer office space and maybe to an extent offer annual support which can be used to manage the office initially. All these will depends on how we package ourselves, our approach and the constitution. The options are only unlimited and depends on our thinking and focus. We need to come up with a good laws, mission statement, goal objective, invite probable sponsors and promise display their brands on our website, offices and during functions and meetings. Since some of these such as office space and some finances to start off the Secretariat mandatory, we have no option. These are achievable targets and are relative.
