Dear Nancy,<br><br>Pole sana - but you have misunderstood. Let me lay it out so that (hopefully) you and others might have a slightly better understanding.<br><br>1) .KE is a "Country Code Top-Level Domain" in internet jargon this is CCTLD<br>
2) In Kenya, the policy is to have five sub-domains i.e. .co, .or, .go, .ac and .sc<br>3) The clauses in the the KCA Amendments '09 relate to the "sub-domains" as above - not to third-level domains<br>4) By virtue of this - all domain registration occur at the 3rd level domain e.g. <a href="http://kictanet.or.ke">kictanet.or.ke</a><br>
5) The licensing provision is a "forward looking" (to use an American term) provision that will allow the development of a competitive hierarchy of registries (since the same act prohibits monopolies and duopolies.<br>
<br>Hope this makes things a bit clearer - and also takes the fear out of people's hearts!<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Brian<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 2:34 PM, nancy bosire <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bozaya@gmail.com">bozaya@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
