[kictanet] Fwd: FW: KENIC - on behalf of Sammy Buruchara

[Walubengo J]

Thnx Sammy B. for the rejoinder....

At least we do have the two sides of the story.  And now, it is up to the Listers to show up in numbers at the AGM and get the detailed aspects of both stories and hopefully come out with KENIC as the winner. In particular, I believe the Bylaws/Constitution for KENIC is up for review. Maybe Sammy could share a copy/url?

Biggest problem with most Listers is that they are active online - but never get time to attend physical meetings to make the difference they yearn for. 

Typical, Kenyan middle-class syndrome :-)

 RE: Online discussions on Resignations of Board at the Kenya Network Information Centre (KeNIC)

Reference is made to the various online discussions regarding resignations of Board members of at the Kenya Network Information Centre (KeNIC).The KeNIC board and management  would like  to take this early opportunity to refute these claims as having no basis and without factual information.

Early this year, the KeNIC Board, while carrying out a mid-term review of the implementation of its Strategic plan, agreed on the  need for KeNIC to carry out an Institutional Assessment to ensure that it operates  in line with the international best practices and that its operations are aligned to its Strategic plan.

A Consultant was tasked by KeNIC to carry out the Institutional Assessment and in their report, which was adopted by the KeNIC board, established a number of areas that KeNIC needed to address, to remain in business as well as to improve in its core mandate of registering dot KE domain names. The following is an highlight of the areas needing action:

1.      The alignment of the Board membership to the KeNIC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. 2.      A review of the current Strategic Plan to align it to realistic Goals and Targets in the light of changing market conditions.

3.      A review of the KeNIC Stakeholders to reflect its core business.4.      Development and strengthening of KeNIC’s Financial and Procurement policies, among other policies.

5.      Review of the management structure to reflect the revised Strategic Plan.KeNIC Board has diligently followed through the Consultant’s Institutional Assessment report by implementing the recommendations contained in the report with the aim of strengthening KeNIC’s  operations. Inevitably, the implementation of the report is going to affect the constitution of the KeNIC board. However, the board wishes to remain intact until the AGM, after which its board membership will change, after the adoption by the AGM. In view of this, it’s important to note that those board members who have since resigned, they have done so voluntarily, and most of them have been replaced by their appointing member organizations.

KeNIC is due to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in August 2012 (next month) to update its stakeholders on the progress of this process, among other reports scheduled for presentation and discussion during the AGM.

The KeNIC board and management would therefore wish to dispel any rumors of an alleged crisis in KeNIC, and to state categorically that there is no crisis at in KeNIC and that the Board and management are fully discharging their duties of ensuring KeNIC is run professionally and in line with  the international best practices.
