[kictanet] kictanet Digest, Vol 107, Issue 33

Fri Apr 15 15:08:36 EAT 2016

Afternoon Michael,
I'm glad we have supporters. What's your .KE?
To your questions:
1. DNSSEC rolled out yet?
Nope. Resolving team capacity and should roll out in the next Quarter.
Abdalla - CEO can comment on exact modalities for this

2. Frequent Kenic outages - April 2015 still fresh in memory, and erodes
confidence in technical capacity.
Moved servers to EADC. We do listen..You're welcome

3. "Political stability" around the board of Kenic seems lacking.
What Board Stability? Have you met us?- Kris Senanu(Chair), Kariba Moko(.KE
Ambassador), Evans Kahuthu(Vice Chair), Rosemary Momanyi(Versatile Marketing
mind), Prof Meoli Kashoda (Voice of Wisdom), Enid Otieno(Audit)...The dream
team is here! Let's make it 1 Million! 

List, I shared a draft working plan on our bigger agenda(Attached). Any luck
on a think-tank reaction to our vision?
We are really keen to engage and grow the .KE Brand in numbers and
perception
Regards

Kariba - DRAKE
