thank you, Liz, All I sent an apology, apparently, it did not arrive :-), so I send it again...."Kindly accept my apologies, that I will not be able to make it, am having a terrible, Flu/cold. for the launch, please discuss around having a cocktail or a community event. thank you". Secondly, Not very good news-: we are not in a position to apply for ISOC grant if we are not yet registered as a Chapter, at the global level and as we are our meetings are still "illegal" , does the Government of .KE , know about our meetings or what those meetings are for? Lets, move step by step, plse, lets clear this first. Third, we may need to get a more clearer, set up, with the launch, in terms of what are we intending to do? the stakeholders and venue. Fourth, I have sent quite some emails, to the ISOC, but no response yet, as concerning whether we are tied up to the dates or the theme. Kind Regards, “To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.” Kofi Annan On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 11:19 AM, <isoc-request@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Hi guys! The following are the minutes of the last ISOC Kenya meeting held at Q-NET*
Present members were:* Mauti Davies Paul Muchene Barrack Otieno Charles Oloo Neema S. Weche Gibran Mwadime Elizabeth Orembo
*Apologies* Philip Adar Mc Tim Brenda
*Agenda*
1. IPv6 2. Registration 3. By laws 4. INET 5. Community grants
*Minute 1:18/2/2012 IPv6* Members were presented with an IPv6 training programme. Paul rigorously took members through a brief introduction to IPv6 and the need to train more people on it. It was noted that there is a need to raise awareness and put more emphasis on the same. Members suggested that we should conduct a series of trainings at the universities during the worlds IPv6 day (8th June). Since the universities have a lot of bureaucracies, it was suggested that we start the planning processes as soon as possible so we would be on top of things come June. There was a suggestion to post the IPv6 tutorials on the ISOC Kenya website so that anyone can access.
*Minute 2:18/2/2012 Registration *Members sought to know on how far we had reached with the chapter application/ registration process. It was difficult getting members to sign the sheet. Charles volunteered go ahead with the task.He also volunteered with the follow ups of the chapter registration at the attorney general's It was noted with a lot of concern that only few people commented on the by laws and members were encouraged to give for changes or at least agree with it so, to avoid working on assumptions.
*Minute 3:18/2/2012 The by laws* It was noted that most of the comments posted on the by laws only revolved around issues concerning grammar, meaning that most of the members did not have issues regarding the laws. Members agreed to have to trustees for the time being in place of board members.
*Minute 4:18/2/2012 INET conference *Regarding the INET conference that is to coincide with ISOC's 20th Anniversary celebrations, it was suggested that we have the conference at The Multimedia University. Members saw that it was nice to invite ISOC global representatives and other guys from IT to provide some sort of mentorship support. Though Judy was the one tasked to spearhead the planning process, members were encouraged to provide assistance where needed, It was also agreed that members contributing to the task should be rewarded. Members were informed that ISOC had given out 200USD for the same.
*Minute 5:18/2/2012 ISOC community grants* Members were also encouraged to apply for the isoc comminity grants. Barrack had started on a project at Kisamis, and had already engaged with the area's local authorities.Members agreed to follow up with the project as Isoc_ke.
AOB Charles had been nominated to attend a fellowship in Geneva, He thanked members for the same and encouraged people to support each other. He is to follow up with the internet snapshots that Seth is currently working on. Members agreed to nominate members who had not gone for the fellowships so as to allow more members to get the exposure.
There being no other business the meeting ended at around 12:30PM, next meeting to be on17th march, same venue.
cheers and Best regards.
Patience is what you admire in the driver behind you, but not in the one ahead.
