OPENING The second ODINAFRICA II planning workshop was held at the Mbagathi Campus of the Kenya College for Communications Technology, Nairobi, Kenya from 14-17 November 2001 and attended by ODINAFRICA National Co-ordinators from: Benin, Cameroon, Comoros, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, Togo and Tunisia. There were also invited experts from Belgium and United States of America who have been providing capacity building support for the data and information management components of the project (List of Participants in Annex I). The participants reviewed the implementation status of the project and adopted the work plan and budget for the year 2002. The Director of Kenya’s National Environment Secretariat, Dr. B. K’Omudho officially opened the meeting on behalf of the Minister for Environment, the Hon. Noah Katana Ngala. Welcoming the participants, Dr. Johnson Kazungu, the Director of Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, expressed Kenya’s pleasure in hosting the workshop. He recalled that Kenya has been actively involved in the development of ODINAFRICA and its preceding projects (RECOSCIX- WIO and ODINEA). Dr. Kazungu outlined KMFRI’s plan to establish a regional marine information centre, which will offer conference facilities in addition to housing the ODINAFRICA Information Services Centre. On behalf of Dr. Patricio Bernal, Assistant Director-General of UNESCO and Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, the Head of Ocean Services at IOC, Mr. Peter Pissierssens welcomed the participants and thanked the Government of Kenya for its kind hosting of this ODINAFRICA Review and Planning Workshop. Mr. Pissierssens emphasized that the ODINAFRICA project is an extremely important undertaking for the IOC as it represents a new direction in the IOC's Capacity Building strategy. Whereas capacity building activities in the past were mostly limited to occasional national or regional training courses, or to donations of equipment, the ODINAFRICA project uses a new strategy, which is based on linking training, equipment and operational support. The ODINAFRICA is a project implemented by Africa for Africa. All products and services such as the ODINAFRICA website, the directories, the data catalogues and many more are developed and maintained in participating Member States. He assured the participants that all IOC Member States are looking forward to the success of ODINAFRICA. Another region, namely the Caribbean and South American region have already started preparations for the establishment of their ODIN network that will be named ODINCARSA (full text of speech in Annex II). While inviting Dr. K’Omudho to officially open the workshop and deliver the minister’s speech, the Director of UNESCO Nairobi Office, Dr. Paul Vitta, re-affirmed UNESCO’s commitment to the development of science and technology in Africa. He welcomed the participants to the workshop on behalf of the Director-General, Dr. Koichiro Matsuura and wished them a successful meeting. In his opening speech, the Minister for Environment, the Hon. Noah Katana Ngala pointed out that the relatively low level of computerization of marine science institutions in Africa has hampered their contribution to the use of the enormous opportunities which information technology provides for addressing the problems of poverty, inequality and environmental degradation. He hoped that the development of an “Ocean Data and Information Network for Africa” would address this problem and assist the institutions with tools to enable them to source information for their research work, and to disseminate information necessary for the sustainable use of the marine environment and resources for development. While expressing his appreciation to UNESCO-IOC and the Government of Flanders- Belgium for the support that they have provided for implementation of the ODINAFRICA network, Mr. Ngala asked the participants to already start thinking of the period beyond the four-year project period (2001-2004) so as to ensure that the network that has been established in ODINAFRICA forms the basis of a lasting alliance of marine science institutions that can exchange experiences. He reiterated Kenya’s commitment to the implementation of the programmes of the Intergovernmental IOC Workshop Report No. 179 page 2 Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO and other UNESCO programmes, and said that in spite of the difficult economic situation prevailing in the country, KMFRI will continue availing its facilities and staff for the service of the project, and marine scientists in the whole of Africa (full text of speech in Annex II). 2. ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS 2.1 ADOPTION OF AGENDA The participants considered and adopted the Agenda and Timetable for the meeting. 2.2 ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN The Technical Secretary for the session, Mr. Mika Odido then invited nominations for the Chairman of the session. The representative of Cameroon, recalling the active role that Kenya has played in the development of the ODINAFRICA project proposed Mr. Harrison Ong’anda as the Chairman for the session. The proposal was seconded by Cote d’Ivoire. The participants unanimously elected Mr. Ong’anda as Chairman for the session. 2.3 CONDUCT OF SESSION, TIMETABLE AND DOCUMENTATION The Technical Secretary for the session introduced the Timetable, the documentation and the conduct of session, referring to the Provisional Agenda (Doc. IOC/ODINAFRICA-II/1). The Provisional Timetable (Doc. IOC/ODINAFRICA-II/2), and the Provisional List of Documents (Doc. IOC/ODINAFRICA-II/3). He also apologized for the fact that it was not possible to translate all documents since some of the reports were submitted late. He pointed out that though the Summary Report will be available for adoption in English only, the final report for the session would be published in both English and French. 3. REVIEW OF ODINAFRICA IMPLEMENTATION STATUS 3.1 WORK PLAN FOR 2001 Mr. Peter Pissierssens recalled the ODINAFRICA Work Plan for 2001 as was recommended by the co-ordinators at their meeting in January 2001 in Mombasa, Kenya (see Annex III). The work plan was based on the decisions of the first ODINAFRICA planning workshop (Dakar, Senegal, 2-5 May 2000) but reviewed in view of the delayed arrival of funds in late 2001. He pointed out that though it had been envisaged that the project would commence in May 2000, it was not until August that the funds were transferred to UNESCO. Due to the already tight schedule planned for the second half of the year, including the Sixteen

  • An Introduction to IPTV Contributed By: Nate Anderson
    An Introduction To IPTV Contributed By: Nate Anderson Television is changing Over the last decade, the growth of satellite service, the rise of digital cable, and the birth of HDTV have all left their mark on the television landscape. Now, a new delivery method threatens to shake things up even more powerfully. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has arrived, and backed by the deep pockets of the telecommunications industry, it's poised to offer more interactivity and bring a hefty dose of competition to the business of selling TV. IPTV describes a system capable of receiving and displaying a video stream encoded as a series of Internet Protocol packets. If you've ever watched a video clip on your computer, you've used an IPTV system in its broadest sense. When most people discuss IPTV, though, they're talking about watching traditional channels on your television, where people demand a smooth, high-resolution, lag-free picture, and it's the telcos (telecommunication companies) that are jumping headfirst into this market. Once known only as phone companies, the telcos now want to turn a "triple play" of voice, data, and video that will retire the side and put them securely in the batter's box. In this primer, we'll explain how IPTV works and what the future holds for the technology. Though IP can (and will) be used to deliver video over all sorts of networks, including cable systems, we'll focus in this article on the telcos, which are the most aggressive players in the game. They're pumping billions into new fiber rollouts and backend infrastructure (AT&T alone inked a US$400 million deal for Microsoft's IPTV Edition software last year, for instance, and a US$1.7 billion deal with hardware maker Alcatel).
