Dear all, I thought it appropriate to start this discussion. As you are all well aware, chapter members met on Saturday and deliberated preparations for the World IPv6 day as part of our chapter meeting agenda. I will need assistance on the preparations. I have already confirmed that the iHub will be available on June 6th. What I am yet to confirm is whether the iHub will be opened before 7am. Tentatively would members mind a mid morning event say 8am-11am? I would like to hear from you. Nevertheless, here are the tasks that will require members to collaborate on: *1. Invitations: *Letters of invitation/invitation cards ought to be dispatched to individuals and organisations that we plan to invite. A list of organisations that we deliberated inviting include; Safaricom, KENIC, TESPOK, Zuku, CCK and the Ministry of Information and Communication (this list is not exhaustive). If anyone would like to recommend organisations to invite please feel free and share them on this list. * * *2. Presenters: *I have talked to Michuki Mwangi and he has no qualms giving a presentation on the day. I hope we can get more presenters and give them formal invitations to the event. I would not mind if presenters made power point slides (the iHub will avail a projector). * * *3. Registration: *For planning and budgetary purposes, members and invitees need to register. In the Saturday meeting we deliberated inviting at most 40 people for the event. I hope this number is neither circumscribed nor inflated. *4. ** Food and Drinks: *I gave Barrack the contacts for the iHub caterer. He has agreed to pursue this matter. *5. Programme: *This is a skeletal outline of the programme for the day. Please contribute towards making it more elaborate: 1. Breakfast *[Time?]* 2. Keynote- invitee Bitange Ndemo/ Paul Kukubo? *[Time?]* 3. Introduction to ipv6 and isoc ke - Paul Muchene, Barrack *[Time?]* 4. Policy issues - invitee Alice Munyua? *[Time?]* 5. Business case - Michuki Mwangi? *[Time?]* 6. Case Studies: Corporates using Ipv6? *[Time?]* 7. Q & A session *[Time?]* 8. End *[Time?]* *6. Theme: *I have one more request; What theme can we have for our first World IPv6 day? During the Saturday meeting members requested we focus on demystifying IPv6 and what value people will get when the protocol is deployed. Can we have a theme on this question? I open the floor for discussion. -- :-) Paul M
