The year is 1999 and the world is going to end!..or so it seemed. A lot has changed since 1999 and so has our agenda as the Domain Registrars Association of Kenya (DRAKE). We aim to grow the .KE ecosystem through the multi-stakeholder framework legally known as <a href="http://drake.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f12adc82116eb3f0918f939db&id=6e6792dc93&e=bcd7b58a17" target="_blank" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #2BAADF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">KENIC.</a><br>
<br>
In 2017, <a href="http://drake.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f12adc82116eb3f0918f939db&id=9304b20073&e=bcd7b58a17" target="_blank" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #2BAADF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">The National Broadband strategy</a> will lapse and with our hardwork 1,000,000 + domains should have been registered. DRAKE has been formulating the <a href="http://drake.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f12adc82116eb3f0918f939db&id=1a5268a908&e=bcd7b58a17" target="_blank" title="DRAKE AGENDA" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #2BAADF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">.KE Ecosytem</a> and building a roadmap towards achieving a Kshs. 30Billion Ecosystem through value addition from the bottom up. In 2014, we kicked off the .KE automation drive that saw all our members adopt a click and pay approach to domain purchases. In 2015, through KENIC we saw the launch of <strong>#weareke</strong> a national brand awareness campaign.<br>
<br>
<strong>What Next?</strong><br>
A million domains is no small feat,it needs a collective approach. We've broken down our engagement segments as below:</p>
