Outreach and AwarenessAbout outreach activities group agreed

to organize workshops and seminars to

improve outreach and awareness.

Dr.Kanchana suggested that, its better

to have our own IT Network Center

instead of some other organizations to

organize training and workshops.

Prof.Kilnam Chon suggests to Dr. Kanchana

to propose AIT to establish IT Network Center .

The group agreed on this proposal and they insured

her their support for IT center.

Regarding the training issue Dr.Kanchana

presented the basic idea for network technology

training center.

Mr.Izumi Aizu suggested that we should focus

training more engineers.

We need to prepare training materials

as training modules and we need three

or four more experts per topic.

The important thing is that we should

work on those issues

that are ignored by other organizations.
