Licensing Framework for .ke
by Ali Hussein 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Listers Apologies for cross posting. The above refers. Please see attached an advert appearing in the local newspapers regarding the above. The gist of the advert is to state:- 1. The CA has now developed a licensing framework to administer the .KE name space. 2. That before any Registrar purports to sell or be accredited by KeNIC they must first be licensed by CA. 3. That if you require more information on the above please contact the CA. Now, listers, a number of things have been playing in my mind over the last few days. And these are:- 1. Shouldn't the CA/KeNIC simply have informed Registrars on the new licensing framework etc.? This is a simple matter. KeNIC has all the contacts (through DRAKE) of the Registrars. Better still, wouldn't it be even a better idea to convene a meeting where we are all taken through the new regime? Can this new framework be shared via email to all interested parties? 2. What is DRAKE's official position on this? 3. As a Registrar the first thing that comes to mind is this:- Are we not complicating and putting barriers for businesses to sell .ke domains by requiring them to be licensed by CA? Isn't it enough that the Registry is now being licensed and that the Registry vets Registrars? How are we going to grow .ke if we now have to troop to CA every year? I stand corrected but I have NEVER required to be licensed by CA or ICANN to sell .ug, .tz, .com .net etc. Is it just me or is there something more to this than meets the eye? C'mon guys, lets not complicate matters unnecessarily! *Ali Hussein* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

@ Ali Hussein If my memory serves me right, I stand to be corrected, these are just some of the issues that were discussed during a breakfast meeting hosted by KeNIC for the Registrars, to explore ways of promoting dot ke uptake and increase confidence on its use and reliability. The way I see it, such a strategy is supposed to to provide a framework to protect local businesses against unscrupulous registrars who at times disappear. I don’t think this procedure should cause anyone with good intentions any worry as long as the licencing process is not cumbersome nor expensive.

It is a long debate though. Yes Davis, Internet is a basic human right. Internet as a human right means that nobody should deny you access to the Internet under any circumstance. A citizen's free will to use the Internet should never be curtailed, and the government should ensure there is an enabling environment for ever citizen to access the Internet. And this is why policies like Universal Access Fund are in place to ensure communication facilities are availed in all parts of the country. This however does not mean that anybody is under the obligation to give you free Internet. For example, food, shelter, access to health, and clothing are basic human rights. But this right does not mean that anybody should give you these needs for free, but that there should be safeguards and enabling environment allowing every citizen to access these basic needs unhindered.

Fwd: [global-nn] ThisIsNetNeutrality Relaunch and Press Release
by Ali Hussein 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Listers Apologies for cross posting. Interesting development on Net Neutrality issues. Please see email thread below and kindly visit the site for more on Net Neutrality. There is even a Swahili version which is an achievement thanks to Kictanet. Net Neutrality may not be a 'sexy' subject for some but I think it's important for all of us to understand it and pay attention to its development and preservation. Think about it this way:- If Net Neutrality is threatened one day you may wake up and realize that the freedoms you took for granted - like reading this rambling email from me :) - is threatened because some Telco somewhere decided it doesn't like the contents...or Kictanet didnt pay 'gatekeeping' fees. Far fetched? Do nothing and roll the dice..
