Hi, Jamal,
thanks for the welcome.
I know very little about the assignment in Sri Lanka; actually I'm
still waiting for country clearance. As I understand it, web hosting
issues will be a minor part of the assignment, and the the issues of
ICT industry cooperation and strategic planning, as well as
international competitiveness issues, will dominate. But I expect to
get clarification soon.
thanks for the CV; you can find mine if you click on the URL in my
signature at the bottom of this message.
Whoever is planning my schedule should plan to start at about 9:00 am
on Wednesday. I see this as a half-day of laying out issues, probing
some of the questions in some depth, and otherwise acclimatizing my
self to the local ICT scene. Then we can start on the real work.
If you send any documents, I'll do my best to study them before my
arrival, I look forward to hearing from you.
I'll send you some more detailed thoughts in several days.
Regards,
George
