[Catherine Adeya]

Waudo,

Interesting questions that I think would have to be answered by the Ministry.

Best,

Nyaki

Subject: Re: [kictanet] Day 3: FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION


I am having a problem putting together some aspects of this bill. For example 
one of the functions of the current CCK is dealing with the ITU. Now the ITU is 
an Inter-Governmental Organization under the UN. This means that the CCK works 
with the ITU on behalf of the Kenya Government. Decisions in the ITU are taken 
by voting with each country having one vote. CCK has to vote according to the 
instructions it receives from the Government of Kenya. How do we tie this aspect 
with the earlier requirement that the new commission "is independent of control 
by government".
 
And just for better understanding, what is the role of the National 
Communications Secretariat? The CCK has been working not only with the ITU but 
with other entities like ICANN and the IGF to FORMULATE policy while its role 
should have been limited to IMPLEMENTING policy. Will the new ICCK continue 
policy formulation function?
 
Waudo
