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

hi all, while i like ISOC NY, mission, i'd have hoped that we'd have looked at our local situation and asked, what great issue would isoc ke like to address? Although professional development is a problem in Kenya, maybe access to Internet is an even greater one. I hope we form Isoc ke not just for ourselves but in order to serve the people of kenya... So i'd suggest we adopt the mission to include service to Kenyans in order to realise universal access or internet for development. Thanks.

Hi Barrack, All;
Perhaps we can borrow from the ISOC-NY mission ( http://isoc-ny.org/wiki/Wiki:Community_Portal#Mission) which is in harmony with ISOC's global mission (http://www.isoc.org/isoc/).
"The mission of (ISOC-NY) is:
1. in support of ISOC, to assure the beneficial, open evolution of the global Internet, 2. to promote local initiatives, maximize the societal benefits which the Internet can bring to the New York area, and 3. to advance the professional development of ISOC members in the New York area."

Day 1
- What should our Vision be as ISOC Kenya Chapter ?
- What do we value most of the Internet Society's work and what would we like to achieve with a Chapter in Kenya?
The floor is open, once we collect our views we will have an easier time discussing during our face to face meeting on 19th.
Kind Regards
