Waabeh. A year Later
by Tim Rimbui 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi there.. I hope that this finds you well. About a year ago we launched Waabeh, guided by a radical idea that African musicians could finally control their destiny,reap from their labor of love all the while giving their fans a place where they could listen to and download their favorite music. Our promise was a solution that empowered the artists with simple upload and distribution over the internet and mobile apps, gave them a higher sales royalty as compared to the /telcos /that were keeping up to 85% [Waabeh keeps 30%] in addition to giving their fans easy and familiar payment options such as mobile money [MPesa,] and credit cards. As one whose opinion we really value, we present to you our annual report card, on what we have accomplished so far. We have passed over /10, 000 downloads/ and serving over /330,000/ streams. Waabeh has expanded beyond it's initial base of Nairobi, Kenya , we are now serving musicians and their fans from all across the world in such varied places like The Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa and even Japan! It has been a tough yet fruitful year and we are glad to be part of the larger African tech community offering working solutions to uniquely local problems. Please find an infographic of some of our last years highlights as well as a photo of Karun <http://blog.waabeh.com/2014/01/waabeh-first-year-report-card/>, one of Kenya's biggest break-out acts for 2013, receiving a royalty cheque for the last quarter. We still on the lookout for more great music, podcasts, audiobooks as well as content partners, so please do not hesitate to let us know on how we can collaborate by going here <http://waabeh.com/about>. Regards /*Tim Rimbui*/ /C.E.O , Co-Founder/ */e :/*/<mailto:jeff@waabeh.com>rimbui(a)waabeh.com <mailto:rimbui@waabeh.com>// /*/t :/*/ (+254) 728-306-630 /Waabeh is Africa's Audio Market; fully stocked with the freshest sounds coming out of the Africa.

by Toilem Godwin 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

The Dot Africa project has now reached a stage where African Governments are being offered an opportunity to reserve domain names that are of National significance before the dot Africa Top Level Domain is opened to general domain name registrations. Respective Governments will be required to redeem the reserved names within the timelines set in the RNL policy using the prescribed systems and tools that have been developed to facilitate efficient submission and redemption of reserved names. The African Union (AU) through the Uniform SA (ZA Central Registry) which is the appointed registry for dot Africa has developed several policy documents, among them the Reserve Name List (RNL) policy that will be used to govern the process of reserving government names. The RNL policy, guidelines and portal are available at the following links (URLs): 1. Reserve Name List Policy: www.africainonespace.org/rnlpolicy 2. Reserve Name List Guidelines: http://africainonespace.org/rnlguide 3. Reserve Name List Portal: http://africainonespace.org/rnl The RNL policy provides for reservation of the following categories: 1. Geographic names - Maximum of 100 names 2. Religious Cultural and Linguistic - Maximum of 100 names 3. Economic and public Interest Names - Maximum of 100 names 4. Offensive Names - Maximum 25 names Kenya’s representative to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN (CCK), Kenya’s Advisor to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN (Ministry of ICT) and KENIC have compiled the following list of government names for the Republic of Kenya and is inviting stakeholders for review and input before the list is submitted to the AU for implementation by end of January 2014. Kindly go through the list and give feedback on names that Brand Kenya Board would like to have added on the list or suggest areas that you recommend change.
