<br>But I thought KENIC does not register domains/collect money directly from domain name owners...it is registrars who do so...so maybe Google is a registrar?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/1/16 James Mbugua <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jgmbugua@gmail.com">jgmbugua@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

You answered it better than I would have.<br>
<br>
Additionally, perhaps as I should remind Steve that it is to Kenic<br>
that domain registration fees are paid and if companies are being<br>
persuaded to upgrade to their own domain names from the .<a href="http://kbo.ke" target="_blank">kbo.ke</a>, it is<br>
only right to query who stands to benefit from such a money.<br>
<br>
In this case, agency seems implied. So, can Kenic tell us if they have<br>
an Agency contract with these people? Otherwise, they are charging<br>
registration fees as who yet Kenic is in charge of the country's Top<br>
Level Domain registry?<br>
