[kictanet] DNSSEC - is it available again?

[Brian Nyali]

Dear Mark, 

I trust you are well. 
Through the registry system we do accept entry of DS records, all registrars can add the DS records from their interface , and if they need assistance/guidance in doing so the technical team does assist. 
This information will be shared on the site and is part of the registrar training scheduled for April 2019. 

Non-Kenyan based registrars are not yet allowed, one must have physical presence in Kenya. However, one can become a reseller under an existing registrar in the meantime. 
The KRA Pin is the Kenya Revenue Authority Taxpayer's Personal Identification Number and is needed for the registry to file VAT returns. 

Kind regards, 
Brian Nyali.

Hi, 
Just did a search on DNSSEC in this group and get nothing. 

I see that co.ke (and ke!) is DNSSEC signed. That's Very Good. 

Does KeNIC accept DS records for entries in CO.KE? 

Do any Registrars have that in their interface? 

A search of "dnssec" on the KeNIC website shows nothing (I tried both case) 
[ http://www.kenic.or.ke/index.php/en/search-results?ordering=newest&searchword=DNSSEC | http://www.kenic.or.ke/index.php/en/search-results?ordering=newest&searchword=DNSSEC ] 



Lastly - Are non-Kenyan based organisations allowed to be Registrars yet? 
The Application form ( [ http://www.kenic.or.ke/images/PDF/Registrar%20Application%20Form%20Updated.pdf | http://www.kenic.or.ke/images/PDF/Registrar%20Application%20Form%20Updated.pdf ] ) 
doesn't state you have to be in Kenya - though it asks for a "KRA Pin Certificate" - and I've no clue what that it. 

I have a few co.ke domains and would love to add DNSSEC to them. My systems allow for that (talks EPP) and I have about 100 DNSSEC signed domains, mainly in ZA but also in other ccTLDs and GTLDs.
