Hi all out there,
For those of you who dont know me, I am Joel Arumadri working with the Nile
Basin Initiative in Entebbe, Uganda.
I am happy to become part of this network and thankyou to all those who
initiated it and those who have kept it hot.
Comming to documenting the salient issues discussed, I am willing to do so but
it will only make sense when the issues articulated by Vasco are addressed.
And secondly, once documented, where and how (media) would it published and who
are the targeted audience? Added to that, if there are cost implications for
publishing how do we handle?
As as far as moderation is concerned, we should be addressing ourselves to
focussed views on the issue under discussion, the likely impacts and
suggestions on intenventions.
Such a structuring willl ease documentation.
Best regards,
Joel

Subject: Documentation of Ideas discussed in the Forum
Ataanzi dika vini Ataaezo,
I think the suggestion of documenting the salient points of the discussions we
have on the forum Ronald Okuonzi is a great idea. Infact one of our sisters had
already suggested this idea sometime back early March if I am not mistaken. I
commend Joel Arumadri Alimo'dua for accepting the challenge to document some of
the key ideas and/or suggestions.
However, based on my observations on the nature and kind of the discussions we
have on the forum, other than the issue of Poor Performance in our schools, non
of the other issues we have discussed on the forum was ever conclusive. To our
advantage, the poor performance in our schools issue coincided with or was
within the time frame of the Ombaci (and I believe Mvara) Old Boys reunion
occasion(s), as such that issue was addressed formally during those function(s)
(if I am not mistaken someone can correct me on this).
Documenting the discussion on the forum will not be an an easy task who
Arumadri. The difficulty I express in in terms of my observation of the various
issues we discuss almost at the same time and we never have a conclusive
discussion on the issues we have discussed. The examples being, the Matego
district issue, the loss of our brother in the hand of URA Officers in Koboko,
the Barifa Land issue. In my view there was never a conclusive discussion on
these issues we have discussed at length on the forum.
To make the documentation of the discussions easier for documentation, I would
like to suggest that for every issue or concern introduced in the forum for
discussion, there should be a moderator who follows and moderates the
discussion to its exhaustion. Secondly, we should try to discuss one issue at a
time and come up with a conclusive agreeable actionable points so that salient
points of the discussion are documented with a final overall summary of the
discussion.
It is also my view that we should take this forum very seriously to
specifically talk about issues affecting our region and other issues from
outside of the region should be something relevant or ideas which are relevant
and applicable to the development of our region. I am saying this because I
think I have read some irrelevant news and blogs on the forum. In terms of the
available server storage space the network has allocated to the forum, such
irrelevant blogs are absolute waste of resources. If we had a moderator, then
such people who post such information should kindly be requested or redirected
to stick to the issue in discussion.
Lastly, perhaps Joel Arumadri who has volunteered to help can tell us, advise
us or suggest to us how he thinks we can make the documentation of the
discussions in the forum easier for him.
I hope we can truly try to be a little better organized in this endeavour. I
believe , "YES WE CAN".
