Listers,

As the discussion continue concerning the vision of ISOC KE i would suggest that the vision we adopt focuses more on Internet governance and accessibility as are our greatest challenges currently. Barrack, we are still waiting for the details of the meeting

Dear ISOC Kenya chapter members,
Thank you for the discussions you have had for those who have participated on the same. When I was following up the discussions, it was mentioned that there is a face-to-face meeting this week on 19th August. Could I just ask the venue for the meeting and whether the meeting is still on as earlier planned.
Kindly keep me on with the latest developments. I am based in Nairobi and would like to attend.
 
Sincerely,

Bernard Ochieng Oluma





"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Nelson Mandela.

Dear all,

Thank you all so much for doing all the heavy lifting. I am delighted
to note the great progress being made. Indeed, I fully agree with the
majority, if not everyone.

But whereas I remain most supportive of this initiative, for the time
being, kindly accept my 'participation absence' ocassioned by an
overflowing plate of obligations currently before me.

And as requested, please count my vote amongst the majority's.

Sincerely,

Alex
