1. Skunkworks needs to be registered as an Information & Communication Technology Society. (There needs to be an AGM once per annum according to the Societies Act) 2. It should complement what the Kenya ICT Board is doing - sort or a Public Private Partnership - to connect / promote Kenyan Techie (Entreprenuer) skills to Serikali & Biasharas Locally, Regionally & Internationally. 3. People's money is being collected and should be in a bank account. If 300K is raised where should it be kept? In a mattress? If we approach Corporate Orgs for donations, who do they write a cheque to? Phares or Josiah? There should be a finance committee. It does not have to meet in person. It can use Google Wave. How about accounting? Well someone can donate their accounting software and skills too. It is about economic sustainability - funds must be raised per annum. Subscriptions will also reduce the noise that has made so many drop out off the list. The mailing list should be open to anyone but only those who have paid an annual subscription can comment on the list Those who have not paid should be disabled from commenting on the list. Say one has contributed 5K for the server, then they should be considered as having subscribed to comment the list for 5 years. Officials can be chosen or sitting ones approved to continue per annum. My suggestion is that half officials be aged between 21 and 30 years of age and the other half be 30+ years to provide balance No one gender should comprise more than 70% of the board .. and all that ... constitutional stuff On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 11:03 AM, Clement Ongera <cnongera@gmail.com> wrote:

We are a body that discusses and offer solutions to all aspects in life in relation to IT. I mean we use IT to sort-of offer solutions to life's and IT problems....It will be hard to pin down the area we will be 'registered' under. We are also a body that accommodate all persons irrespective of their field, so there again will we be registered as a 'lobby group?', 'IT Group?', 'An IT solutions Provider?' or just 'SkunkWorks, Everthing ICT!'....The registrar will want to know......
