I have done some work on the by-laws. Please have a look and give your comments. Please note that I have also tried to incorporate the guidelines given by the Societie's Act Regulations (see www.kenyalaw.org) hence some references to Kenya,use of the name society and so on. Cheers! 2011/9/6 Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) <nmutungu@gmail.com>
In that case please lets think of how to distribute duties between the two bodies. We must create a relationship that avoids conflict....suggestions???

Grace Imho, we need a board or an entity that can accomodate pioneers of the internet in Kenya or founding members that McTim had mentioned, my two ip addresses :-)

quick question, Shall we have both a board and officers(chair, secretary treasurer?) Joly raised this concern in an earlier email, I also raised it but we seem to have no conclusive answer on that..

Well done Grace and thank you for the sound legal advice.

McTim,
Interesting question if you know of any we will duly recognise them as founding members I don't see a problem with that, we have Michuki, Gakuru, Alice, Shem Ochuodho, Vincent among others whom I may not be able to mention, they will received due recognition in the hall of fame.

Thanks McTim, Grace we look forward to your guidance, I wonder whether there is a way we can vote online or do a survey to establish what members want anyone to guide us on the list?
