FW: Forming of a strategic leadership group to support IAM Implementation

[Nigel Lowe]

Hi Maselaganye, (& Rachel)

 

Thanks very much for the honest and candid discussion we did have yesterday.  I confirm that I believe that as IAM needs knowledge leadership as well as applied research that the CSIR has a pivotal and leading role for IAM implementation.  Thank you too for your willingness to support and assist potentially leading IAM-based implementation in the Eastern Cape.   I further confirm that my own efforts to mobilise and secure additional funding sources actually need to be brought under this kind of strategic oversight, guidance and notably alignment together with other related national initiatives. 

 

Accordingly I will now DRAFT an EC IAM Implementation Framework proposal and send that to you and Rachel by the week starting the 11^th November. I have since secured a timeslot with Rachel for the 19^th November to unpack and revisit that framework.  Please will you decide who to bring into that from the CSIR and please allow me to potentially bring one or two others into it as well.  If you will identify your participants, Rachel (or I) might then deal with the distribution especially as you indicated that you will be away.

 

Further I confirm that you are personally interested and available to support the emergence of the Strategic Leadership Group for IAM Implementation.  Thank you too for potentially offering the date of 26^th November 1000 hours (or alternatively that afternoon) as a suitable first proposed time to possibly convene such a grouping.  Allow me to now speak to the others mentioned and still being consulted.  Please protect that date of 26^th for now.

 

Thanks again,

Hi Joe,   cc Those informed and or to be approached

 

Our discussion of about 10 days ago refers.  Thanks so much for this proposal for UP to help facilitate the emergence of a group as per this message title.  I confirm that those now copied are my initial nominees to seek at least their personal support and or advice in constituting such a grouping.  Hopefully they might be willing to support the necessary dialogues even into their own organisations to ultimately give this some formal standing.

 

In this regard, I did get to mentioning this to Patrick Ntabeni at DWA last week at IMESA and though it warrants further discussion, he is already open to considering this.  The dialogue within DWA has already gone quite far and this is why additional parties can also be copied.

 

I will similarly hope to explore this with both Maseleganye and William and then a first group meeting might be convened with your help at U Pta.  The location of U Pta is actually, quite spatially and in the longer term, potentially pivotal in this kind of grouping.

 

Thanks again and regards,

Hi Joe and Patrick,

 

Thanks again for your interest and availability. The base message of yesterday refers. Here-with this message for your information, now with the CSIR now very much ‘on Board’.  Especially the reference to a provisional date of 26^th November.  Please see;

a)      The broad positioning I am now giving to this grouping – paragraph 1

b)      The immediate focus on EC IAM implementation – 2^nd paragraph.  Patrick – I do have proposals to also be consulting DWA colleageus apart from this proposed inter-action.  This is actually proposed for next week.

c)      The provisional notice of a first group discussion date – 26^th Nov – 3^rd paragraph.

 

1)      Please respond to me with regard to that provisional date and particularly confirm what timing is appropriate or best for yourselves.  Joe – my assumption is that UPta can play host.  For information - Petrus did hold up a perspective that he believes that CSIR can actually offer applied research in contrast to UPta.  I actually have to hope for both – challenges are just that vast.

 

2)      Please also note my further effort in a next email to reach SALGA in particular.  I have tried several times to reach William recently so if you can assist or support that in anyway please do so.

 

Regards,

Nigel Lowe
