To the author of a blog … I Read your blog rather recently. That it would be desirable to note … (do not think that with what that I reproach or I try to give advice) laconic enough design, anything superfluous I would tell))) your subjects are close to me, and it pleases. But why do not write the opinion on the events occurring in the world, in respect of events international for example?? I understand, that “news suffice”, but sometimes it would be desirable to learn opinion of the usual person, so to say - an independent sight, to compare it to the opinion. And so … Write even more often, even more, and even more interestingly. Thanks!
My first blog

Dear Stewart

It was a pleasure meeting you in Barbados last week.
Thanks to CARICAD I am already registered. I just decided to take a look at CCEG, which is very well developed. I particularly liked the clear instructions for members to upload content.

I look forward to cooperating with you as we consolidate the UN electronic and mobile Government Knowledge Repository (emGKR) in the Region.
Best regards
Jonas

Welcome to the group Solomon Amabo. Our deliberations about e-Governance in the Caribbean will appreciate your views and experiences from Cameroon.

Hi All,

My name is Emerson, and I'm an Information Management Professional.. my interests are: Records Management, ICTs, Library and Knowledge Management. i've been invloved in this area since 1994, and I've also briefly worked in E-Governance over the Region.

I would like to draw the attention of persons interested in the further advancement of E-Governance in Barbados to pay some attention the draft Freedom of Information Bill. This legislation wil be a huge driver for electronic governance, as this is a pre-requisite to stage 1 of the E-Government services delivery. For those of you interested in the bill, please access same at: http://www.gov.bb/portal/page/portal/GISMEDIA%20CENTREPUBLICATIONS%20MAN...

kindly note that the deadline for submissions is Friday, October 31, 2008.

Hello all happy to make your aquaintance as the National Coordinator of the International Education and Resource Network Trinidad and Tobago, (iEATNTnT)
iEARNTnT is the local body netweaving with teachers, youth leaders, young people on educational projects that make a difference in the world, through a global telecommunications network with participants around the corner and throughout the world.
As well as the Communication Officer for Trinidad and Tobago Federation of UNESCO Clubs

I hold the position of Director, Office of Public Sector Reform - Ministry of Labour and (Civil Service) - Barbados
I congratulate CARICAD on developing this initiative and hope that it will serve to encourage interaction amongst members. The public sector reform process needs the ICT impetus to expedite services relevant to the development of our various stakeholders - especially the private sector. Although this is a primary focus we must always be aware that we need to balance organisational reform with attitudinal reform. It is the lack of development of the latter which leads to our failings in a number of areas which were set up with good intentions - and may I add initially 'good' systems. A number of worthwhile initiatives have been buried in the 'reform graveyard' because not enough cooperative effort has been made.
All the best!

Mike Archer

Hi all

I am Stewart Marshall, Director of the Distance Education Centre at The University of the West Indies. I am based in Barbados, but spend a lot of time travelling around the other 15 countries in which we have DE Centres. For many years now my research interests have been in the use of ICT to help in community development and sustainability. E-governance and community engagement are important components of this.

I am looking forward to interacting with everyone in this virtual community.

Regards, Stewart
