What does a Webinar achieve? Or what does one want it to achieve?
Who is the target audience? The few decision makers reading this list
don't need it, and the wannabes clamoring to have it are not going to
achieve anything other than excusing themselves from going to work
because of this "important Webinar".

> the Web <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/World_Wide_Web.html>.

>
>
> Which now leads to the execution of the webinar.
>
>
>
> To get to the Webinar we need to put first things first. Open
> discussion where views are shared and welcomed. Where people are
> prepared to shift positions as a result of reflecting on the shared
> viewpoints and thus creating new ideas. We need to value and celebrate
> the differences as opposed to opposition for the sake of opposition.
>
>
>
> When we get to that mutual point then a webinar would add value.
>
>
>
> We cannot have a valuable webinar with the long shopping list.
>
>
>
> So
>
> 1) Narrow down to a key issue
>
> 2) Clearly outline the desired outcomes
>
> 3) Share summarized background on topic
>
> 4) Attend the webinar.
>
> If I’m not mistaken that would be the better process.
>
> But I’m still failing see how a webinar will provide more value than the
> current discussion list where issues are discussed deeply, and we are
> all given a chance to internalize then comment.

>
> 2.1 ICT Policy(introduce by Yassin)
>
> 2.2. Internet Regulation(introduce by Pierre N.)

> - Step 3 : New subject "Internet regulation at national level?" base on

> 3.1 Here come the idea of a webinar(introduce by Pierre N.)

> 3.2 Support by AfriNIC to organise that webinar(introduce by Adiel)
