[kictanet] PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON LICENSING AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR DOT KE DOMAIN NAME REGISTRY SERVICE

Tue Jan 21 23:44:48 EAT 2014

@ AliWambua has kinda answered both questions. However, KENIC is still silent on providing the consultancy findings as promised. It would be useful if the report was forthcoming as it would probably answer most of the queries and render stakeholders with no queries on the proposed licencing and regulatory framework for .ke.

Thanks Ali for initiating discussion on this subject.   CCK would like to respond as follows to some of the queries raised last week on this subject:

1.  During last year's KeNIC AGM the board promised to share with us the consultancy findings that would come up with this framework towards commercializing
 the registry services beyond KeNIC. We are still awaiting that paper and I feel that the paper is integral to this discussion as it would provide good background information that informed the reason behind CCK taking a certain regulatory framework as opposed
 to another - I'm referring here to the fact that there are several directions this could go for example The South African Model as opposed to the UK Model or the Australian one. I guess we can delve deeper during the discussion.

KENIC is best placed to respond this query
2. The documents are silent about the fate of KeNIC (unless I missed it). What will happen to it? Who will be the recipient of the assets?  How are they
 going to be shared seeing that it is a PPP where CCK is not the only stakeholder.

The proposed licensing framework does not in any way suggest the dissolution of KENIC. In fact, the framework envisages an arrangement where KENIC remains as-is (a multi-stakeholder private public partnership) but with Government represented by another entity
 (Kenya ICT Authority) other than CCK (CCK will relinquish its positions in the KENIC Board and assume a regulatory oversight role). As such, the issue of sharing of assets, etc., does not arise.

3. Has the CCK formally informed ICANN/IANA of the intention for Re-Delegation? This is a major process and we must line up our ducks properly so that we
 are not caught flat footed. The stakeholders MUST also be told how this process would work to ensure mitigation of risks.

There will be no need for re-delegation given the explanation above.

Dear listers

We kick off the discussions today with 2 questions.

1. What do you think informed CCK's move towards a change in the way the .ke ccTLD is managed and do you think enough consultations (in the spirit of MultiStakeholderism) took place to arrive at this?

2. How in your opinion should any of the funds (after liquidation of KeNIC) be used? This question should also answer the question of surplus funds derived from the sale of .ke ccTLD domains? 

I suggest we take two days to discuss these questions in depth. 

We shall proceed to the next set of questions on Wednesday.
