You know, I don't think the Safaricom thing is a popularity contest (you know, the kind where the most nominations get an appointment)... From what I have read of the notice, they just want us to nominate names and they will see who is most suited to their needs... at their discretion. I see no reason why all of you should not nominate yourselves.... or Phares and others... Al Kags -----------------------
AlKags, let me firstly congratulate you on what you managed to achieve. That was excellent. Asante sana. :-) Secondly and please do correct as necessary, this team is up against web traffickers, private sector, policy makers, renowned engineers and public figures and the rest who can easily drive up nomination traffic or may even just need one nomination. And because this list has yet to move towards web traffic so that such is possible, members on this list are at a severe handicap. Because Safaciom's selection critera is not known, if they get 1000 applicants, what do they use to filter the selection process? Will they call 1000 people for interviews? If you feel that the Gentlemen/Ladies on this list stand a chance going it alone, then I guess the matter is closed. Am just wondering aloud. Kindly advice this list. Asante. -- Rgds, "Skunkworks-KE is a social platform for technologists. It's where we hang out, talk, discuss, help out some poor soul with technology issues and share a drink once in a while.
