[kictanet] Licensing Framework for .ke

[Walubengo J]

@Wash,

Without attempting to read the mind of the DG, ask yourself why someone would wish to give you a license?  
SIMPLE ANSWER: So that they can have the authority to deny or revoke it under given conditions :-)

Enough said.

 Well, we
 do know that we will not require CA to authorize how we
 manage our DNS servers.If that was to be true, it would
 amount to something else I'd rather not mention
 now.

 I totally agree with your explanations.
 
 
 
 The "intention" and perhaps the spirit of the
 regulatory clause is to stop at the "first" level
 sub-domain as you explain. BUT when push comes to shove,
 nothing stops the legal interpretation to include
 "subsequent" level subdomains like town.mmu.ac.ke.
 
 
 
 How deep does the sub-domain clause cover? Perhaps for the
 avoidance of doubt, the clause could be revised to
 explicitly sate the "first" level subdomains.
 
 
 
 The devil lies is in the details.

  Deja vu! (excuse my french :-)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  I warned you guys many months ago @

  Anyway, here is snapshot of one of the clauses in the
 
  Regulations (2010) being applied now and I quote
 
 
 
  >>(2) A person shall not create a new sub -
 domain
 
  under the Kenya country code Top Level Domain without
 the
 
  approval of the >>Commission.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Meaning that If I run the university mmu.ac.ke domain, and need to
 
  create a domain from our town branch as in town.mmu.ac.ke I have to
 
  run to my good friend the DG, Wangusi to grant me the
 
  permission. I am sure he will give me the permission but
 the
 
  bigger question is why should I ask?
 
 
 
  Walu,
 
  I am 100% sure you have
 
  misinterpreted that clause! My understanding of
 
  it is that you cannot create something like .TV.ke or
 
  .MOBI.ke without the consent of that dragon called CA.
 The
 
  dragon will decide on what gets created besides .or.ke and such
 
  like.However, once you have walu.or.ke the dragon has
 not
 
  power (moral authority or
 whatever) to stop you from
 
  creating kanduyi.walu.or.ke
 
   unless they also want to come and manage your DNS
 
  servers.
