[UgaBYTES] No good news abour registration process of BCTN : I met the Director General this morning !

[NKURUNZIZA Jean Paul]

Hello,

I met this morning the Director General of the Ministry of Interior today
morning.
The bad thing is that the Advicer in charge of our file had attached a
very little notice on our file saying that : BCTN is not a non profit
organization. He wrote this because in our text, we described some
services generally offered by telecenter ( Internet access, photocopy,
Library, community radio, ...). As he saw that offered services are not
free, them he argued that BCTN is not non profit.
But I explained that the major role of the network is essentially to
support telecenter initiatives by capacity buildings, lobbying and content
for Development, etc... as it is clearly stated in our objectives.
I also explained that low fees are paid to telecenters for their
sustainability issues.
At the end, he told me to contact back the Advicer and explain him. This
because the Director General can't go against technical advices from his
colleague.
So, we scheduled the meeting with the Advicer tomorrow as he was not in
his office today.
It looks like that we will be obliged to modify our  constitution text and
then begin all the registration process again if the Advicer doesn't
understand.
