Dear Colleagues, This is an invitation to a discussion on intermediary liability in Kenya starting tomorrow Tuesday 2nd October 2012, which will be followed by a breakfast meeting on 10th October at jacaranda hotel. See attached the initial findings of the study on Intermediary Liability in Kenya. We welcome comments. Please note that this initial report is a forthcoming publication, and it should not be cited publicly until November, when the final report will be made available. The study notes that there is a lack of a clear framework for liability of intermediaries and a lot of uncertainty in understanding our evolving post-constitution legislative environment particularly in "regards to what offenses may happen on communications networks and whether intermediaries would be liable or not, this may have contributed to caution and self-regulation. In addition, there seems to be no legislated take down procedures other than responding in court to whichever law was cited as broken. Do we need a "clear framework for liability of intermediaries, and safe harbor legislation? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the current situation? We would like to encourage policy discussions on these issues with the aim of providing concrete recommendations and way forward. Grace Githaiga and Victor Kapiyo will take it from here Best Alice This is a project of: * Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANET) * Open Society Initiative (OSI) * Association for Progressive Communications (APC) * Google * Ministry of Information and Communications * Telecommunications Service Providers Association of Kenya (TESPOK)
