<br>
I totally agree with your explanations.<br>
<br>
The "intention" and perhaps the spirit of the regulatory clause is to stop at the "first" level sub-domain as you explain. BUT when push comes to shove, nothing stops the legal interpretation to include "subsequent" level subdomains like <a href="http://town.mmu.ac.ke" target="_blank">town.mmu.ac.ke</a>.<br>
<br>
How deep does the sub-domain clause cover? Perhaps for the avoidance of doubt, the clause could be revised to explicitly sate the "first" level subdomains.<br>
<br>
The devil lies is in the details.<br>

Anyway, here is snapshot of one of the clauses in the<br>
Regulations (2010) being applied now and I quote<br>
<br>
>>(2) A person shall not create a new sub - domain<br>
under the Kenya country code Top Level Domain without the<br>
approval of the >>Commission.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Meaning that If I run the university <a href="http://mmu.ac.ke" target="_blank">mmu.ac.ke</a> domain, and need to<br>
create a domain from our town branch as in <a href="http://town.mmu.ac.ke" target="_blank">town.mmu.ac.ke</a> I have to<br>
run to my good friend the DG, Wangusi to grant me the<br>
permission. I am sure he will give me the permission but the<br>
bigger question is why should I ask?<br>
<br>
Walu,<br>
I am 100% sure you have<br>
misinterpreted that clause! My understanding of<br>
it is that you cannot create something like .TV.ke or<br>
.MOBI.ke without the consent of that dragon called CA. The<br>
dragon will decide on what gets created besides .<a href="http://or.ke" target="_blank">or.ke</a> and such<br>
</div></div> like.However, once you have <a href="http://walu.or.ke" target="_blank">walu.or.ke</a> the dragon has not<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> power (moral authority or whatever) to stop you from<br>
creating <a href="http://kanduyi.walu.or.ke" target="_blank">kanduyi.walu.or.ke</a><br>
unless they also want to come and manage your DNS<br>
servers.<br>
