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.

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.

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.
