*RE: ISOC Kenya Website * Am glad the issue of the Website is coming up. I apologize for the delay on configuring the CMS. This was due to the many activities that I have been involved in, and currently working on the registration process. But since Ive offloaded some off, the CMS should be completed very soon and should be operation at least by 10th April for comments and fully online by 15 April. This is important because by the time we shall be celebrating 20th Anniversary, everything should be in place. It can even launch officially on that day. So all who can contribute to the technicalities are welcome aboard. Although past request bore no fruit, lets pull up our socks things time. We need two categories of contributors/volunteers; 1. Technical -coding / configuration and 2. ISOC-Ke Content development. Any comments/suggestions?

Minutes of the ISOC Kenya meeting held on 18th feb at view park towers
by Liz Orembo 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hi guys! The following are the minutes of the last ISOC Kenya meeting held at Q-NET* Present members were:* Mauti Davies Paul Muchene Barrack Otieno Charles Oloo Neema S. Weche Gibran Mwadime Elizabeth Orembo *Apologies* Philip Adar Mc Tim Brenda *Agenda* 1. IPv6 2. Registration 3. By laws 4. INET 5. Community grants *Minute 1:18/2/2012 IPv6* Members were presented with an IPv6 training programme. Paul rigorously took members through a brief introduction to IPv6 and the need to train more people on it. It was noted that there is a need to raise awareness and put more emphasis on the same. Members suggested that we should conduct a series of trainings at the universities during the worlds IPv6 day (8th June). Since the universities have a lot of bureaucracies, it was suggested that we start the planning processes as soon as possible so we would be on top of things come June. There was a suggestion to post the IPv6 tutorials on the ISOC Kenya website so that anyone can access. *Minute 2:18/2/2012 Registration *Members sought to know on how far we had reached with the chapter application/ registration process. It was difficult getting members to sign the sheet. Charles volunteered go ahead with the task.He also volunteered with the follow ups of the chapter registration at the attorney general's It was noted with a lot of concern that only few people commented on the by laws and members were encouraged to give for changes or at least agree with it so, to avoid working on assumptions. *Minute 3:18/2/2012 The by laws* It was noted that most of the comments posted on the by laws only revolved around issues concerning grammar, meaning that most of the members did not have issues regarding the laws. Members agreed to have to trustees for the time being in place of board members. *Minute 4:18/2/2012 INET conference *Regarding the INET conference that is to coincide with ISOC's 20th Anniversary celebrations, it was suggested that we have the conference at The Multimedia University. Members saw that it was nice to invite ISOC global representatives and other guys from IT to provide some sort of mentorship support. Though Judy was the one tasked to spearhead the planning process, members were encouraged to provide assistance where needed, It was also agreed that members contributing to the task should be rewarded. Members were informed that ISOC had given out 200USD for the same. *Minute 5:18/2/2012 ISOC community grants* Members were also encouraged to apply for the isoc comminity grants. Barrack had started on a project at Kisamis, and had already engaged with the area's local authorities.Members agreed to follow up with the project as Isoc_ke. AOB Charles had been nominated to attend a fellowship in Geneva, He thanked members for the same and encouraged people to support each other. He is to follow up with the internet snapshots that Seth is currently working on. Members agreed to nominate members who had not gone for the fellowships so as to allow more members to get the exposure. There being no other business the meeting ended at around 12:30PM, next meeting to be on17th march, same venue. cheers and Best regards. Patience is what you admire in the driver behind you, but not in the one ahead.

I concur with you McTim, the USG is trying to avert an Internet Governance spearheaded by the ITU and others who desire greater government oversight over the technical & policy functions of the Internet . This is the stick to prod ICANN to change.

The Internet Governance Forum Secretariat published last week the call for workshop proposals for the IGF7 event that will be held in November 2012 in Baku. The closing date for proposals is stated as the 12 April 2012. http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/w2012 The purpose of this email is to ask you whether you or others in Kenya will be participating in IGF7 and whether it would be beneficial to organise a workshop related to Open Government Data as at IGF3, IGF5 and IGF6. The Open Meeting and the following MAG Meeting held in Geneva during February 2012 re-confirmed the selection criteria for workshops and the proposed Theme for IGF7 and proposed one or two new criteria that workshop proposals need to meet. Time is rather short for submitting a workshop proposal so I am just making contact with all that participated in the IGF6 workshop 123 in Nairobi or remotely to see the level of interest. I look forward to hearing from you on the above. Regards Chris

Dear all, As was discussed in our last meeting, the community grants application is open till 30th March 2012. You can apply for it or encourage somebody (or a group) to make their application for this grant. The current, preferred focus areas are: * IPv6. * Local content creation (encouraging demand for and use of the Internet for a specific community). * Encouraging the multi-stakeholder approach to technical and policy issues. * Interconnection and traffic exchange. Paul, can we (as ISOC Kenya or individuals) apply for IPv6 training? I think we can get 25% cost of training covered by some local sponsors. Just my thoughts.

Re: [ISOC_KE] Fw: [ICANN-discuss] IANA RFP Canceled

Barrack, this looks like a serious development...IANA oversees the global IP address allocation under ICANN through a contract signed with the US Govt. This contract is expiring and so there is need to shop around for proposals (RFP) on the way forward. The cancellation of the RFP leaves more questions than answers.. walu. --- On Sun, 3/11/12, otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com <otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com <otieno.barrack(a)gmail.com> Subject: [ISOC_KE] Fw: [ICANN-discuss] IANA RFP Canceled To: isoc(a)lists.my.co.ke Date: Sunday, March 11, 2012, 6:14 PM Sent from my BlackBerry® -----Original Message----- From: Joly MacFie <joly(a)punkcast.com> Sender: icann-discuss-bounces(a)elists.isoc.org Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:21:23 To: ISOC icann-discuss<icann-discuss(a)elists.isoc.org> Reply-To: joly(a)punkcast.com Cc: <x-pubpol(a)isoc-ny.org> Subject: [ICANN-discuss] IANA RFP Canceled http://domainincite.com/ntia-says-icann-does-not-meet-the-requirements-for-… NTIA says ICANN "does not meet the requirements" for IANA renewal Kevin Murphy, March 10, 2012, 15:21:51 (UTC), Domain Policy The National Telecommunications and Information Administration has dealt a stunning blow to ICANN in its bid to carry on running the internet's critical IANA functions. The NTIA said this hour that it has canceled the RFP for the new IANA contract "because we received no proposals that met the requirements requested by the global community" NTIA thinks that ICANN's bid was unsatisfactory, in other words. The NTIA said: Based on the input received from stakeholders around the world, NTIA added new requirements to the IANA functions' statement of work, including the need for structural separation of policymaking from implementation, a robust companywide conflict of interest policy, provisions reflecting heightened respect for local country laws, and a series of consultation and reporting requirements to increase transparency and accountability to the international community. The government may cancel any solicitation that does not meet the requirements. Accordingly, we are cancelling this RFP because we received no proposals that met the requirements requested by the global community. The Department intends to reissue the RFP at a future date to be determined (TBD) so that the requirements of the global internet community can be served. However, it has extended ICANN's current IANA contract until September 30, 2012. This means ICANN still has its IANA powers over the DNS root zone, at least for another six months. While the NTIA has not yet revealed where ICANN's bid for the contract fell short, it is known that the NTIA and ICANN's senior management did not exactly see eye to eye on certain issues. One of the key sticking points is the NTIA's demand that the IANA contractor - ICANN - must document that all new gTLD delegations are in "the global public interest". This demand is a way to prevent another controversy such as the approval of .xxx a year ago, which the Governmental Advisory Committee objected to on the grounds that it was not the "the global public interest". Coupled with newly strengthened Applicant Guidebook powers for the GAC to object to new gTLD application, the IANA language could be described as "if the GAC objects, you must reject". If the GAC were to declare .gay or .catholic "not in the global public interest", it would be pretty tough for ICANN to prove otherwise. But ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom has previously stated that he believed such rules imposed by the US government would undermine the multistakeholder process. He told the NTIA last June that the draft IANA contract language stood to "rewrite" ICANN's own process when it came to approving new gTLDs. The IANA functions contract should not be used to rewrite the policy and implementation process adopted through the bottom-up decision-making process. Not only would this undermine the very principle of the multi-stakeholder model, it would be inconsistent with the objective of more clearly distinguishing policy development from operational implementation by the IANA functions operator. Since then, language requiring ICANN to prove "consensus" on new gTLD delegations was removed, but language requiring it to demonstrate the "global public interest" remains. The game is bigger than petty squabbling about new gTLDs, however. The US government is worried about International Telecommunications Union treaty talks later this year, which many countries want to use to push for government-led internet governance. A strong GAC, backed by an enforceable IANA contract, is one way to field concerns that ICANN is not responsive enough to government interests. It's tempting to view the deferral of the IANA renewal as an attempt to wait out Beckstrom's tenure as CEO - he's set to leave at the end of June - and deal with a more compliant replacement instead. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - _______________________________________________ To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe, please log into the ISOC Member Portal: https://portal.isoc.org/ Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu. _______________________________________________ isoc mailing list isoc(a)lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/isoc

It's tempting to view the deferral of the IANA renewal as an attempt to wait out Beckstrom's tenure as CEO - he's set to leave at the end of June - and deal with a more compliant replacement instead. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - _______________________________________________ To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe, please log into the ISOC Member Portal: https://portal.isoc.org/ Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu.

Dear All. *RE: MEETINGS* Indeed Barrack has provided a synopsis of the current status of ISOC-KE, However, just for records, as regards to the regular meetings, they did not begin in October, if my memory serves me well, in June 2011, way before the Nairobi IGF. I can still remember attending that meeting @ iHub, where several issues were discussed among them chapter registration.

hi all, Please forgive my questions (blame it on being a newbie) 1) What is the status of the Chapter formation? 2) I saw mention of a trust - has this been formed? 3) Has the application to ISOC been completed? 4) Can there be/is there an online form for local chapter membership subscription? 5) When is the next meeting?

KIXP History
by Brian Munyao Longwe 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all, I'm not sure if you are aware, but IDRC published a book in 2005 where as one of the co-authors I chronicled the history of KIXP... AT THE CROSSROADS: ICT POLICY MAKING IN EAST AFRICA http://web.idrc.ca/openebooks/219-8/ and my chapter: Chapter 14. Of Gateways and Gatekeepers: The History of Internet Exchange Points in Kenya and Rwanda http://web.idrc.ca/en/ev-93063-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html

Introduction
by Brian Munyao Longwe 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all, It's a pleasure to join this list. I was so excited to hear from ISOC about the fact that we are well on the way to (finally) having a local chapter. I have waited many years for this! As I read through the archives I saw the thread about Kenyan Internet history and would like to contribute the following. - First commercial ISP FormNet - connected to the Internet in 1996 - I was technical manager and set up the link which was a 64k International Private Leased Circuit (IPLC) to Pipex, UK - I initiated discussions with all the ISPs about KIXP in 1999 and after several months got agreement. Enaged Cisco to donate the initial kit for the core of the IXP, engaged UNESCO so that we could receive the equipment duty free by Cisco shipping it to them and then them 'donating' it to us ISPs. KIXP then went live in October, 2000 after we arranged for Barry Greene of Cisco to come over and assist us with getting peering sessions up between the first four ISPs that agreed to connect. It was shut down by CCK after about 1 week of operation due to objections from Telkom Kenya and suggestions that it was a 'threat to National security'. It took about 1 year of lobbying, advocacy, negotiation and myth-busting with CCK, govt, Telkom and NSIS before a face-saving way of getting KIXP back up was identified and KIXP became the first IXP to need a license to operate ;) the IXP was then restored operationally and formally launched in 2002.

by Paul M 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

This is an email I received from ISOC. Here are great fellowship opportunities for budding network network engineers to attend an IETF meeting. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a loose amalgamation of individuals and groups that define and write the specifications for the network protocols you use in your daily interaction with the Internet. Go ahead and apply! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues, The Internet Society has announced that it is inviting applications for its latest Internet Society Fellowships to the IETF. The Fellowship programme allows engineers from emerging and developing economies to attend an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting. As you know, the IETF is the Internet's premier standards-making body, responsible for the development of protocols used in IP-based networks. IETF participants represent an international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers involved in the technical operation of the Internet and the continuing evolution of Internet architecture. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process. The Internet Society is currently accepting fellowship applications for the next two IETF meetings: * IETF 84, July 29 - August 3, 2012, Vancouver, BC, Canada * IETF 85, November 4-9, 2012, Atlanta, GA, USA http://www.internetsociety.org/what-we-do/education-and-leadership-programm… Fellowship applications for both IETF meetings are due by 23 March 2012.

Minutes of the ISOC Kenya Meeting held on 18th Feb
by Judy Okite 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

thank you, Liz, All I sent an apology, apparently, it did not arrive :-), so I send it again...."Kindly accept my apologies, that I will not be able to make it, am having a terrible, Flu/cold. for the launch, please discuss around having a cocktail or a community event. thank you". Secondly, Not very good news-: we are not in a position to apply for ISOC grant if we are not yet registered as a Chapter, at the global level and as we are our meetings are still "illegal" , does the Government of .KE , know about our meetings or what those meetings are for? Lets, move step by step, plse, lets clear this first. Third, we may need to get a more clearer, set up, with the launch, in terms of what are we intending to do? the stakeholders and venue. Fourth, I have sent quite some emails, to the ISOC, but no response yet, as concerning whether we are tied up to the dates or the theme. Kind Regards, “To live is to choose.
