Astonishing news, as preposterous as it sounds. We need a very balanced approach and meaningful engagement in getting into the issues at play here. I am sure most of us wants what is best for the Kenyan society and the business community. I look forward to a time when the preferred domain in Kenya will be .ke. Probably somebody with information can give us a background overview. I am sure the IT Director at CCK Michael Katundu who has been a long serving KENIC director wants the best out of the our ccTLD, including competing at a world level like .za and .de I am also sure in his difficult and challenging task as chief IT advisory to the Director General Mr. Francis Wangusi and the CCK board, the advice and outcome that will be fronted will be a progressive and selfless one. It's interesting to note that the President of Kenya, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta in his speech to business community and civil society in May 2013 during swearing in of cabinet secretaries encouraged public private partnerships and fostering dialog. Nobody would like to be seen to undermine the performance of the President, or his humble decree barely 100 days after he took office. Before the re-delegation of our ccTLD, we need know what works, what does not work, what effort and approaches have been employed, any working group that has been constituted, how the working groups were reconstituted, reports and recommendations of the working group, and finally the concrete basis for the re-delegation. Long live .KE ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva twitter.com/lordmwesh google ID | Skype ID: lordmwesh On 16 July 2013 08:32, Barrack Otieno <otieno.barrack@gmail.com> wrote:
Walu and all,
I really look forwad to a full public engagement process before any major decision can be made, is this the best that we can do as a nation? as the Internet society we are looking forwad to a public process that will examine possible solutions to this debacle that has dragged on for years, we are not short of case studies from Africa and globally and we will seek to demonstrate this. We welcome all stakeholders to the Kenya Internet Governance Forum to be held at Stathmore University Business School on July 26th 2013 where we shall make our position on this matter known.
Thank you
Best Regards
