Dear Joly, I think most writers/journalists need some training on reportage of technology issues. He has tried but somehow failed in communicating the ISOC Ke launch well; he sort of of ended misforming the public.

Author Kamau Mbote is to be commended in covering the event, however the article is somewhat mis-informative.. 1) It lists IS as the acronym for the Internet Society. 2) It says "a global lobby group advocating Internet freedoms, is opening an office in Kenya this week" = not entirely accurate. 3) It doesn't make clear the relationship of George Kithi to ISOC-KE (and the link to the story is messed up - it is here ) while implying controversial statements are ISOC-KE policy. 4) It concludes- "Kenya joins the 193 Internation Telecommunications Union (ITU) member states in having an IS presence." - which is just plain nonsense! Perhaps someone could contact Mr. Mobote and set him straight? -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - _______________________________________________ isoc mailing list isoc@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/isoc
