<p class="MsoNormal">While we appreciate the efforts to do this, I think it is
important that the programme is shared with us before it is sent to the list.
This would ensure we agree on the programme and the announcements before they
are sent out. Given the fact that we launched the Africa Internet Summit
this year, it would be great if the event is branded as such to avoid
confusion. But more important is that this is shared with us in future before
any communication is made.<o:p></o:p></p>
