<div>Astonishing news, as preposterous as it sounds.</div><div><br></div>We need a very balanced approach and meaningful engagement in getting into the issues at play here.<div><div>I am sure most of us wants what is best for the Kenyan society and the business community. I look forward to a time when the preferred domain in Kenya will be .ke. Probably somebody with information can give us a background overview.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am sure the IT Director at CCK Michael Katundu who has been a long serving KENIC director wants the best out of the our ccTLD, including competing at a world level like .za and .de I am also sure in his difficult and challenging task as chief IT advisory to the Director General Mr. Francis Wangusi and the CCK board, the advice and outcome that will be fronted will be a progressive and selfless one.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>It's interesting to note that the President of Kenya, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta in his speech to business community and civil society in May 2013 during swearing in of cabinet secretaries encouraged public private partnerships and fostering dialog. Nobody would like to be seen to undermine the performance of the President, or his humble decree barely 100 days after he took office.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Before the re-delegation of our ccTLD, we need know what works, what does not work, what effort and approaches have been employed, any working group that has been constituted, how the working groups were reconstituted, reports and recommendations of the working group, and finally the concrete basis for the re-delegation. </div>
