Dear Members, We have been having meetings every third Saturday of the month and we are looking for innovative ways of attracting new members whilst fullfing ISOC's mandate, in our last meeting we discussed possibilities of having talks from industry leaders and visiting institutions that play a key role in shaping how the Internet is used locally. I would therefore like to invite volunteers to speak on the following areas which will then be used to form a calendar: Internet Exchange Points:, peering and related issues IP v 6 Internet Rights and Principles RIR's Local content Cyber Security The Domain Name Industry Internet Standards You may suggest more areas , the aim is to create awareness on ongoing initiatives, if you know someone from government, Civil Society, academia who can speak please invite them.

*RE: ISOC Kenya Website * Am glad the issue of the Website is coming up. I apologize for the delay on configuring the CMS. This was due to the many activities that I have been involved in, and currently working on the registration process. But since Ive offloaded some off, the CMS should be completed very soon and should be operation at least by 10th April for comments and fully online by 15 April. This is important because by the time we shall be celebrating 20th Anniversary, everything should be in place. It can even launch officially on that day. So all who can contribute to the technicalities are welcome aboard. Although past request bore no fruit, lets pull up our socks things time. We need two categories of contributors/volunteers; 1. Technical -coding / configuration and 2. ISOC-Ke Content development. Any comments/suggestions?
