Interesting. I now get it Alex.
I missed the multi steak holder part :)
Seems like Kenic problems are more of governance than operational.
Liz,
Further arrested development analogy:
Do you consider your Internet connectivity affordable?
If "No", know that the latest national bandwidth usage data shows that Kenyans are hardly using one-third of the available capacity. Yet the prices remain sky high and more recently "bundles" prices were actually increased.
Recall:
'President pushes for low Internet connection charges to stir growth'
Just as we are wasting (leaving be iddle) available capacity, could more local domain names be registered - with appropriate interventions?
Do calls for "Status quo preservation" promise the desired namespace optimal utilisation, growth and development?
Regards,
Alex

Your first sentence nails the answer to your second on the head.
Therefore, the question is, "Which arrangement ensures Public Interest firmly remains on the driver's seat?"
In my view, analysing the registry situation from "controlling" the resource as opposed to "optimising" its operations for maximised Public Benefit misses the whole point.
Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex, all,.KE is a public resource and all stakeholders have to be represented.
I am keen to know which other aproach works best both for the registry and the community at large.
