Pierre, Since we're on this thread is there any update on the launch of the .africa TLD? Also, is there any information on which regulatory authorities will have control of the TLD sufficient to seize a .africa domain name? I would love to use .afirica but forward thinking people need to know how easy it will be for regulators (some organ within the African Union I guess?) to take domains away before putting much faith in them.

Thanks Barrack for the information.

Maybe we should add that the DNSSEC workshop at KENIC is part of the DNSSEC roadshow which has been launched by ICANN within the framework of the Africa strategy (Africanncommunity.org). Alain Aina is the one leading the workshop and the roadshow which encompasses 8 African countries including Kenya for this first phase..

Listers,

For those who may not be aware the Kenya Network Information Centre has organized a DNSSEC awareness and deployment workshop at AFRALTI on 11 and 12 June 2013. This is a timely course since as a continent we have very few deployments of DNSSEC despite its importance in building the confidence of online businesses, for more information on how to participate kindly contact KENIC directly contacts are available on www.kenic.or.ke. Congratulations KeNIC for this great initiative.
