Hi kivuva, listers
To answer some of your questions.
Im the one managing
info@isoc.or.ke and im not vying for any position. Im yet to recieve nominations from members.
The elections will be free n fair, ill publish the list of nominees on this this list as we approach the elections. Once a member has been nominated I will ask for a statement of interest from thr person before adding him/ her to the list.
The minutes of members' meeting are ussually published on the list for further contributions even from members who did not attend. So feel free to go through them and contribute.
The chapter has an AMS portal with a list of all the registered members and their ISOC reg numbers managed by the interim chair n vice chair. It will be published in the course of the week.
The issue of membership fees came up when we were registering the society under the AG. In the first meeting after isoc_ke being chartered, members agrees to contribute ksh.500 for registration purpose, thos contribution was also to be considered as membership fee. Im the one who recieved the money (details of which ill publish in the course of the week)
Hope this answers some of your questions. Lets keep the discussions going.
Regards.

Kivuva,
I agree with you on that No. 1 and No.2 also an important fact is that the nominated officials who are interested should be public so that you know how to campaign and sell good policies and ideas which will take the chapter stride ahead. Let us be open to this course and amicably elect officials who deserve to be in the Great office of this age in this chapter.
Thanks
Daniel Omondi
We should hold elections where members feel they have got the right people, are well represented and the elections should be seen to be free and fair. I don't see why anybody should be opposed to transparency. And even if a physical meeting took place, that does not negate online discussions where most members are present. Indeed online meetings and discussions are an acceptable way of reaching consensus. Isn't Internet Society all about using the internet as a tool for change and development?
For example,
2. Is the electoral commissioner receiving the nominations at
info@isoc.or.ke also a candidate?
3. Do we have a verifiable list of local ISOC Chapter members?
4. Do we have a list of verifiable paid up members with proof of payment instruments?
5. Is the payment instruments only in monitory terms or can it be through support of chapter activities? For example, some member sponsored the domain for the 2013 IGF, while another member did the website for the IGF.
6. Who are eligible to vote? Do we have a list of eligible voters?
7. Must all voters be physically present at the AGM or can members vote online?
Let us all come together and take the local ISOC Chapter to new heights.
Regards

The nomination for those positions should be only to info@isoc-ke.or.ke or the whole list.
Thanks

Thank you Barrack and Kelvin.
Those responses are sufficient, although it seems minutes of meetings are not shared on the list.
It would be great if all prospective candidates send their profile to this list for vetting. The list of candidates should not be a secret.
Regards

The idea of paid membership was discussed a while ago. Its documented.
However i would personaly like to see individual submitions with an objective ie for the chaptor for next 2 yrs.
We all know what the chairmans responsibilities are (i use chairman as an example, should apply to all positions) however what more can you do or do better than just the responsibilities. What do you bring to the team ? Why you? Whats your track tried tested etc.
we must vet this individuals just like a coporate would if at all we have to run this proffesionaly.
If isoc is to stand the test of times then we must get it right as we clear candidates this is the first step to an open indipendent profitable and life and impact on society oriented chaptor.

Hi Lordmwesh,
The criteria were discussed at a membership meeting, the minutes are available on the list. Check minutes of the YMCA meeting. The objective was to encourage commitment from members. Kindly have a look at the minutes, however we will be having a membership meeting soon, i urge all members to come so that we can clarify any issues that are pending. Thank you for the questions.
Best Regards

It would be great if candidates send their expression for Interest in the elections through this ISOC Kenya list.
We also need to see how this criteria of "paid up member" came up.
Where is the list of the paid up members, and who did they pay?
Warm regards
