<br>
Personally I am a fan of .ke domains - that said there are room for improvement:<br>
<br>
1. DNSSEC rolled out yet ?<br>
<br>
2. Frequent Kenic outages - April 2015 still fresh in memory, and erodes confidence in technical capacity.<br>
<br>
3. "Political stability" around the board of Kenic seems lacking.<br>

Thanks Waudo,<br>
To your question. How do I see .ke being impacted by the new gTLDs?<br>
The answer is purely on value. Right now the user is key because there's<br>
variety.<br>
We asked a while back. Why does the Kenyan developer prefer .com .tech<br>
.consultant .insertnewTLD over .KE<br>
Here are some responses and how we've dealt with them<br>
1. Price - Implemented RRP at 1,000 bob which all DRAKE members have<br>
implemented<br>
2. Purchase procedure - Automation deployed. Current/ New registrars benefit<br>
from support by the DRAKE technical team that assists at KENIC should the<br>
need arise<br>
3. Security - your .KE will NOT be taken down! (Terms and XXX apply). And<br>
yes before you quote <a href="http://www.isuhuruinkenya.co.ke" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.isuhuruinkenya.co.ke</a> I wish to say that was purely<br>
a registrar issue and we resolved the same. Actually as a .KE owner if you<br>
don't have dashboard access to your domain do let us know.<br>
4. Market - #weareke campaign which launched in 2015 goes bigger and better<br>
this year. Focussing on Awareness, Demystification and conversion.<br>
<br>
A product is only as good as its need and we hope that all this steps will<br>
boost the tech communities trust in their own brand and will help us build<br>
it.<br>
We've ridden on a nationalistic approach and that's gotten us to 56,000. We<br>
hope based on continuous value addition we'll get to 1,000,000<br>
1,000,000 means:<br>
- 10,000 Jobs<br>
- GDP relevance<br>
- Bottom tier empowerment<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
