@ Richard, thank you for your kind compliments. I did read the minutes, and here is an excerpt: ------------------------- Min 02/01/12/2012 Launch It was noted that the chapter’s launch was tied to resources, time and the message it wants to convey. The meeting agreed to organize for a breakfast event on 19th December followed by a press briefing that aligns the chapter’s roadmap to 2013. Charles and Barrack are to follow up on funding from ISOC and report back by 5th December. ------------------------- this does not amount to an invite, as one cannot tell if the event is confirmed, the venue, time, speakers, programme etc. To the organising committee, in future, please do invite members formally for the chapter events on the list ( and please send invites at least a few days to the event). Wishing you all the best. Kind regards,
Hi Grace Thanks for pointing out that the invite of the event was not very clear for you, and recommendations for future events. On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 6:18 PM, Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) <nmutungu@gmail.com>wrote:

Liz, This is not about me, it is not about lack of clarity. It is about openess and accountability. There was no invite. period. Please note that the best practice is always to invite public (or in our case members' participation) in events such as these. I am a member of ISOC, but I learnt about the event from a colleague. You only sent the invite after I asked about it. As a member of ISOC-Ke I am entitled to information to participate in such events.

Hi all, Having attended the morning session for the ISOC KE Chapter Launch out of my busy schedule, I must say it is a success! We look forward to greater things, and better awareness of the Chapter locally and regionally. Grace, Your sentiments on the communication breakdown is understandable, we hope to have a better way of spreading out the information to members, despite the many challenges. Kudos to:- Kelvin Githira, Charles Oloo, Liz Orembo, Wangari, Martin Obuya, and other ISOC members (who I cant recall their names) that were present for making the event a success, as well as a starting point for better structures and in the motto to: "Have free and open internet, to encourage information dissemination, education, empowerment and as a service to humanity" Regards On Wed, Dec 19, 2012 at 8:48 AM, Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> wrote:

For those who managed to attend and participate in the launch meeting (online, offline), I would humbly say...CONGRATS....it was a great day.
