<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>

<div dir="auto">@watila, due to the nature of the google brand, it
has many Registrars around the world. In some cases due to the
requirement for local presence, international Registrars who
have the rights to manage the google brand sub contract local
registrars to register the domains on behalf of google. As such
you are right to asert that some of the Registrars may not
necessarily offer .<a href="http://co.ke" moz-do-not-send="true">co.ke</a>
