* <http://www.eastandard.net/hm_news/news.php?articleid=1143973832> * The East African Standard | Online Edition <http://www.eastandard.net/> * Saturday September 1, 2007 * * Kenya bids to host top IT conference * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *By Alari Alare* Kenya has submitted a bid to host the African round of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) meeting set for November next year. The bid was submitted by the board of the Kenya Information Centre (Kenic) on behalf of the private sector and the Government. Speaking during Kenic's annual general meeting on Friday, chairman Anthony Mugambi, disclosed that a team comprising Government, private sector and the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) will be constituted to lobby for the bid. As a trustee for the dot. ke country-code-top-level-domain, Kenic oversees the Kenyan Domain Name space by managing and administering the dot .ke in conformity with global Internet policies. Icann, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers on the other hand is responsible for managing and coordinating the global Domain Name System (DNS) to ensure each address is unique and that users of the Internet could find valid addresses. It does this by overseeing the distribution of unique IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and domain names. "In an effort to expose Kenya's vibrant ICT community to the rest of the world, the Kenic Board has submitted a bid to host the African round of the Icann meeting in November next year in Nairobi, Kenya", said Mugambi. "We are confident of winning the bid to host the event and we shall be seeking your support in hosting the event," said Mugambi. During the meeting, a new board led by Mugambi was named to steer the Centre's activities. << Back <http://www.eastandard.net/hm_news/news.php?articleid=1143973832> _______________________________________________ AfrICANN mailing list AfrICANN(a)afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann
