    <p>Perhaps then it is time for the <font face="georgia, serif">KeNIC
        governance/Board to open KE domains to all registrars whether
        they have presence in Kenya or not. This would surely assist KE
        reaching the million milestone somewhat quicker. Protecting
        local Registrars has perhaps had its place and time - time for
        change?<br>
        <br>
        Personally - this would make maintaining my KE domains DNSSEC
        status easier and I'd probably add a few more domains too.<br>
