Agenda
1. By - Laws 2. AOB
*Minutes 1.17.12 By Laws*
- Members felt that the current bylaws were lengthy and there was need to reduce them to two pages (similar to a charter). After further deliberations , it was noted that due to the requirements at the registrar of Societies with regard to the structure of by -laws, the current set be retained as they are. - Members agreed that Grace (responsible for the bylaws) should be given a free hand to advise and make the necessary changes on the areas that may warrant attention including the ones that have been noted during the discussion. - Members resolved to proceed with the registration process at the global and local levels. Action by Grace
*Minutes 2.17.12 AOB*
- Members agreed that there was need for more virtual meetings. It was proposed that we set up a skype conference chat /call for constant communication. - Action by Barrack - It was agreed that the monthly meetings (every third Saturday) be allocated to Fellows and Industry leaders, a draft calendar will be availed before the new year. - Action by Barrack - It was also agreed that there was need to agree on a niche that will be filled by ISOC_Ke, members also felt that there was need for ISOC_Ke to work hand in hand and or compliment the work being done by other players in the industry such as KiCTANET, Skunkworks, the i-Hub , KeNIC, TesPOK. - It was also agreed that corporate membership be pursued in addition to the current individual membership to make the organisation sustainable. - Members also agreed to finalise on the list of founding members to be submitted with the Chapter application forms, it was agreed that the current list of 40 members who responded to the call be used.
