[kictanet] The KeNIC we want

[Grace Bomu]

Kivuva,
You explained that KENIC is run on a PPP model but from the website, it is
run more like a private entity.
Perhaps there are good reasons why for example CEOs are kicked out every so
often but without transparency, we can only speculate.
A starting point would be to publish minutes of board meetings plus other
important corporate reports so that the public can be informed.
And on the issue of board composition, we would have a more meaningful
discussion if we knew how board seats are arrived at. Is it a space for
registrars only or should we imagine it as a public resource where there
should be representation of public interest as well as users?
Regards,
