[kictanet] [ISOC_KE] Why Startups Are Sporting Increasingly Quirky Names and why ccTLDs are increasingly becoming strategic (Read KeNIC)

[Ali Hussein]

Wambua

Thank you very much for responding and allaying our fears. We do appreciate
greatly. Allow me to also urge CCK to consider the following points as your
internal deliberations are going on:-

1. That you include other stakeholders (those that form a part of how KeNIC
was originally instituted) in the internal deliberations.

2. It may be prudent to review the original IANA deliberations and
relegation of the .ke from Dr.Ochuodho and Randy Bush to inform the next
course of action as I'm sure you are aware that our Constitution also
requires us to abide by international agreements.

2. That CCK makes a presentation on this issue during this year's KIGF to
be held on the 26th of July at Strathmore. Details of which I am sure you
are aware of.

Thank you once again for your timely response.

Regards
