Re: [ISOC_KE] isoc Digest, Vol 3, Issue 7

Hello all, Congrats and thanks to all who took time to prepare the draft bylaws. @McTim, the by-laws seem to have been to a large extent copy pasted from the ISOC New york chapter bylaws - hence the featuring of the term 'Executive Committee' which should have been edited out to read 'Board of Trustees'. Anyways, ISOC provides a template for chapter by-laws here : http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/guidelines/bylaws.shtml, which should be used by the working group doing the bylaws because it requires inclusion of some mandatory phrases to the chapter bylaws document. I like the structure that has been outlined in the template i.e offices- chair, vice chair, secretary (we can opt for an assistant secretary), and treasurer (we can also opt for an assistant treasurer as well); and then the overall executive council/committee consisting of the officers, exoficio officers, standing committee members and we can opt to include other internet stakeholders here such as government, media etc. The membership can be classified as individual members and organizational members and even student members if we want to catch 'em while they are young.

Chapter Formation was to be led by McTim and at this juncture we would wish to request him to direct us on the next steps, for membership we also request Judy and Tim to tell us what is required, i have a draft copy of bylaws which i will circulate on the list. It was prepared by a member John Njoroge, your comments on the same are welcome. -- Barrack O.

Invitation: Join the ISOC Kenya Chapter formation process
by Alex Gakuru 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Kindly add me to the mailing list. br, Alex ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ISOC Chapter Support <chapter-support(a)isoc.org> Date: Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 2:37 PM Subject: Invitation: Join the ISOC Kenya Chapter formation process To: gakuru(a)gmail.com ** [image: ISOC Logo] Dear Alex Gakuru, This email is an invitation to join the Chapter formation process for a new Internet Society Chapter in Kenya. You can read more about Internet Society Chapters at: http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/ The Chapter formation process is a bottom up process, so we rely on interested volunteers to take it forward, but we will of course also be there to help you. Those interested should be able to spend some time working to help shape a future Internet Society Chapter in Kenya. It does indeed take time and effort to run a successful Chapter and a strong team is therefore needed, composed of individuals from different stakeholder organizations within Kenya. Everyone is thus invited to take part in helping to shape the Chapter. You can read more about the Chapter formation process at: http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/application/ If you are interested in becoming an active part of shaping the new Internet Society Kenya Chapter with real action and time as a volunteer, then you are invited to join the local group that is currently working on the establishment of the Chapter. In order to do so, you can sign up to the newly created mailing list at http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/isoc You can then post to the list by sending an e-mail to <isoc(a)lists.my.co.ke> A first members meeting is scheduled to take place on 19 August 2011. Please save the date! Details about the venue will be communicated as the date approaches. More information about this meeting will be made available on the above-mentioned mailing list. This "Expressions of Interest" email has been sent to all Internet Society members in Kenya. Please feel free to forward this message to other people you think might be interested in joining the Internet Society and in participating in this process. Best regards, Christine --------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Society (ISOC) Christine Saegesser Baethge Manager, Chapter Development Website: www.InternetSociety.org ---------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Barrack. Below are some of my suggestions. TOR *1. **Chapter Formation * · Chapter registration and dissolution requirements · What will be business of the Chapter (Agenda) · What are the major areas of IT that this Chapter can legally be engaged in adequately to without compromising ISOC’s mandate. · What is needed /required for registration purposes? · Status -NGO, SCOCIETY or what. Note that we are aiming to being an umbrella body. · Disadvantages and pros of either of No 2 above · Legal issues · Sponsors / Collaborators / Marketing · Any other*.* * * *2. Membership* · Types of membership. Do we adhere to ISOC’s guide on the same or do we come up with other types. Discuss and suggest. · Criterion for accepting membership *3. **Web* · Objective of having a society’s website · What should be its goal / short term (simple) and long-term · Requirements document · Hosting, domain name costing & other sundries Reardsa C= Charles

Dear Barrack Hello. Just seen the ISOC feed and there is no "minutes" attachment you spoke of. I was looking forward to it. However, there seem to be a problem with the feeds. Are they being queued somewhere, some of them messages are 3 days old? -- Charles Oluoch Oloo Web Developer / Information Manager

With that we can comfortably plan for the venue, e. g. like in my office 30 can meet can meet comfortably. My office is situated at 1St Floor Room 2 Mutarakwa House off Mutarakwa Road Kariobangi South Location. To reach foe those who are using public transport, Go to bus station, board Double M Matatu No. 23 for civil servant alight at last stage and call while at the stage through cell-phone no. 0722212171 I can pick people from the stage Mutarakwa House just behind Kariobangi south Deliverance Church based at the stage.

by Paul M 19 Aug '11

Dear listers, We had a fruitful meeting and presentation from Christine Saegesser Baethge ISOC manager for Chapter Development in Africa. She can be reached at the following address: <chapter-support(a)isoc.org> . Also check out http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/application/appli.shtml on chapter formation. In spite of the audio issues which we experienced, members suggested ideas for the ISOC Kenya chapter's mission and vision and projects that the chapter can undertake. Barrack will brief you in more about the meeting.

ISOC Meetup Venue 19 August 2011
by Sylvia Kariuki 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Dear Barrack, I joined and have been following up with the conversations and looking forward to the face to face on Friday 19th. Unfortunately, I do not think Ill make from 11 - 1pm as it is working day for most and I had thought that we would atleast try to do a late afternoon - evening meeting from 3pm onwards so as to accommodate many of the listers who would be otherwise occupied with their day jobs? However if majority of the listers are available, then go ahead , perhaps I could connect through skype .. best regards, Sylvia Kariuki

Meeting
by Charles Oloo 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

As we awaite the meeting venue, the suggestion of 2pm is a good idea, but it has come too soon. Some of us may have other engagements and catching up would be a problem. Since the meeting would just be a "know each other" why cant it be at 3.00 pm for one hour. Charles Oloo
