<div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"></span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Sammy, The BOD at KeNIC and listers at large<br><br>We understand
that the board has now restructured the governance of KeNIC in such a
way that it now becomes a 'closed' stakeholder environment? Could you
please kindly clarify this issue. Reading your posting of a few days and
let me quote you here:-<br>
</span></div><div><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">"...the Strategic
Plan Review that took place last month, the following stakeholders
were selected based on the value they bring to the KENIC Board to enable
KENIC meet its mandate of growing the .ke name space in Kenya." end
quote.<br><br>When can ALL stakeholders have a copy of the Institutional Assessment report? Or is this only for the eyes of the board? or the current perceived stakeholders?<br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">My concern here is that shouldn't the AGM have decided on who the new stakeholders are? Who does the Board of Directors report to in this case? </span></div><div>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Correct
me if I'm wrong but what the current status of affairs indicates or
implies is that there is fundamental shift from the current stakeholder
structure to a new one. <br><br>Good Corporate Governance tenets demand that before such fundamental changes are made as to how an AGM is conducted this should be decided by the AGM NOT by the Board of Directors. After all it is at the AGM that Board Members are elected...<br>
<br>We must at all costs ensure that the governance of KeNIC is above board and the way the current situation is it leaves to much speculation and rumor to spread. For the sake of this organisation you must be seen to be beyond reproach.<br>
<br>Having said that I do agree that these are tumultuous times at KeNIC and we must allow reason to take place. I urge everyone to take a step back and let the management and board of KeNIC steer the ship until the AGM which I am hoping will be open to ALL stakeholders and not just the ones that the board feels has a stake in KeNIC.<br>

I remember with Nostalgia those templates we used to send to Randy Bush in the days, and how one would anxiously await his response - yes, because it meant money then! A successful processing of the template was a big issue - you made a small mistake and it would be rejected.<br>
