[kictanet] kictanet Digest, Vol 107, Issue 33

Fri Apr 15 16:39:50 EAT 2016

Hello Kariba,

Does DRAKE have any Kenya registration data for the last 3 or so years,
e.g. annual registrants per registrar, number of annual renewals per
registrar; registrations per legacy gTLD, .KE registrations/annual
renewals, registrations (if any) for new gTLD domains. This could help
in in some work I am doing for ICANN.

Kind Regards,
WAudo
