Listers, This is indeed good news. We have a lot of hope in Mucheru and Victor Kyalo industry veterans who have indeed worked their way through the trenches. Most importantly we hope to see the return of a multi stakeholder form of engagement in the sector which we have been yearning for in a while. I think as a sector we might need to prepare a wish list for our new leaders and most importantly commit to work with them towards achieving their mandate. The reshuffle is timely still it comes at the end of the year and will allow us to start 2016 on a new slate.

A very critical part of these networks consists of end nodes with various operating systems(Android, MACOS, Linux...) Deploying IPv6 in this type of environment should factor in all the different operating systems and their different default behaviour. In this webinar, we are going to look at how an enterprise network can deploy IPv6 to end nodes covering factors that need to be considered in various environments. Below are the detailed objectives. 1. Outline the steps an enterprise network needs to take, to be IPv6 ready 2. Explain IPv6 Neighbor discovery 3. Understand and configure SLAAC, Stateful and Stateless DHCPv6 4. Outline various deployment scenarios and advise which provisioning technique to use 5. Describe IPv6 security considerations for end nodes Date: 5th December 2019 Time: 16:30 GST (Mauritius, Seychelles) - 12:30 UTC (Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire) - 13:30 WAT (Nigeria, Cameroon) - 15:30 EAT (Kenya, Uganda) - 14:30 SAST (South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini) This webinar will be in English, as usual, a French version will be organised later.

NEW DATA PROTECTION LAW NECESSITATES COMPLIANCE POLICIES IN ORGANISATIONS
by Tom Kabau 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hello Listers, As you are aware, personal data has become an extremely vital economic and governance resource in the contemporary information age. Vast amounts of personal data of Kenyans is collected, processed, shared and exploited by public organisations, private entities and business corporations locally and globally on a daily basis. In Kenya, this has necessitated regulation of the collection and management of personal data by organisations and corporations, resulting in the enactment of the Data Protection Act ... corporations and organisations have to, inevitably, develop legally sound and comprehensive data protection and usage policies and statements to guide their staff, agents, assignees and licensees on the acceptable data management practices in order to avoid legal liability. For further details, download my brief commentary at: http://www.lesinkonjoroge.com/New-Data-Protection-Law-Necessitates-Complian… -- Dr. Tom Kabau PhD (University of Hong Kong), LLM and LLB (University of Nairobi) Senior Lecturer and Chair of Law, Science and Technology Department School of Law Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Nairobi Cell Phone: +254 721 628646 / +254 735 070312 Advocate and Legal Consultant Lesinko, Njoroge & Gathogo Advocates http://www.lesinkonjoroge.com/ Select Publications: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1600181

For quality laws, MPs should consult stakeholders
by Grace Githaiga 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

>From Walu on our town hall last week: IN SUMMARY * So last week, Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTAnet) hosted what is possibly the first town hall meeting with Members of Parliament – specifically the Parliamentary Committee on ICT. * More often than not, MPs meet citizens in only two settings – during election campaigns and during formal stakeholder engagement sessions at Parliament buildings. * Participants from media, academia, civil society, private sector, youth, etc. asked questions and shared ICT experiences and subsequently got honest feedback from MPs. * It was evident that this sort of meetings with parliamentary committees in charge of various sectors should be encouraged and regularised. https://mobile.nation.co.ke/blogs/1949942-5354120-7bdgkj/index.html Best regards Grace Githaiga -- Grace Githaiga Co-Convenor, Kenya ICT Action Network

How bad tech policies are killing dreams of young entrepreneurs
by Grace Githaiga 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Good morning Listers Our submission to bunge was covered by Standard. During the campaigns for the 2013 presidential elections, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto adopted a manifesto that hinged on a narrative of digital transformation that eventually got the two elected. At the time, the two candidates told young voters that the existing crop of leaders was out of touch with the needs and aspirations of digital natives - young people under 25 who grew up in an age when smart phones, the internet and social media were becoming mainstream - and that they were best-equipped to drive a digital economy. Half a decade later and the narrative of a ‘digital government’ is quickly unraveling. In the last two years, the government has proven to be the most detrimental to Kenya’s digital economy, eroding previous gains made in the journey of making Kenya a Silicon Savannah. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/article/2001349701/how-bad-tech-po… Best regards Grace Githaiga -- Grace Githaiga Co-Convenor, Kenya ICT Action Network

IMF chief tells poor countries to cut use of global consultancy firms
by S.M. Muraya 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Old news, but we have we complied? https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/imf-chief-tells-poor-countries-cut-use-gl… *IMF chief tells poor countries to cut use of global consultancy firms* Tom Belger, Finance and policy reporter Yahoo Finance UK, 23 January 2019 IMF head Christine Lagarde in Davos. Photo: REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has told poor countries to stop using global consultancy firms to write development strategies. The fund’s managing director Christine Lagarde singled out inefficient spending on consultants for criticism at an event about funding the sustainable development goals at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. She even ordered any representatives of “the McKinseys and Boston Consulting Groups” or any other consultancy firms in the room to listen to her as she delivered an uncomfortable message about their work. The former French government minister said low-income and emerging-market economies had to raise more revenue themselves domestically and cut white elephant projects and corruption. She argued the private sector had a key role to play if poorer countries were to ever achieve the 17 development goals set by the UN. But she warned: “I’m looking around to see whether there are any of the McKinseys and Boston Consulting Groups, and if there are please listen to me. “I see many, many low-income countries and emerging-market economies spend millions of dollars commissioning consultants to build their strategy plan. I would recommend some saving be made by taking the 17 principles, the actionable items, and start with that. “From there, the consultants can actually do their job of putting it into reality. But don’t reinvent it — it’s right there. So much is wasted. That’s part of the inefficient spending that can actually be saved.” The comments may spark controversy not only in the consultancy industry, but also among critics of the IMF itself. The fund has a tarnished reputation in many parts of the world for its heavy-handed promotion of free-market reforms in indebted countries over the past few decades. The sight of a senior IMF figure now urging developing countries to cut down on their use of imported private sector expertise may raise eyebrows.

List moderation for Two KICA amendment bills 2019
by Grace Githaiga 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

Dear Listers Greetings. Further to sharing of two KICA Bills here, we would like to submit a memorandum on both as part of public participation. We plan to hold a two day moderated debate next week on Wednesday October 23rd and Thursday 24th. The two bills propose to amend KICA on different issues. 1. The first one published on March 15, 2019 proposes to amend KICA by inserting a new section 25A, which will allow Telco companies to engage in any other business, so long as they are licensed. 2. The second Bill published on July 24, 201 9 proposes to amend KICA in section 2, which basically is the regulation of social media (including bloggers and watsapp admins). Mercy Mutemi will moderate the social media one on Wednesday, while Mwendwa Kivuva will handle the Telcos one on Thursday. We hope to have a discussion on the same with the National Assembly ICT committee at a date to be announced here. Looking forward to a vibrant debate.

People not Technology: the fatal flaw in any business
by Mbugua Njihia 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

Every man, woman has a number. A number that when reached, tabled or sighted, throws reason out of the window and converts even the most placid and gentle souls into ravenous criminals with eyes set on an illicit prize, more often than not of the financial kind. Many times technology gets a bad rap as its deployment within business processes is seen to aid and abet all manner of raids on corporate and private coffers. http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/business/people-not-technology-the-fatal-flaw-i… *Regards,* Mbugua Njihia ᐧ

Fwd: [AFRI-Discuss] AFRALO Newsletter
by Barrack Otieno 04 Nov '19

Listers, Might be of interest. Regards ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: ICANN At-Large <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Sun, Nov 3, 2019 at 4:58 PM Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] AFRALO Newsletter To: <afri-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> October 2019 AFRALO NEWSLETTER Volume 1 | October 2019 The latest news from the African At-Large Regional Organization (AFRALO) Visit our Website <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> >From the Chair's Desk Mohamed El Bashir, AFRALO Chair Welcome to AFRALO Newsletter 1st Volume, It's a new dawn! I most sincerely welcome everyone to this new dawn of the maiden edition of the AFRALO newsletter. I am excited that what started like mere suggestion is now coming into fruition and thereby positioning AFRALO to join the league of RALOs with their own newsletter. I thank all those who volunteered to make this happen. This is a new dawn looking back from where we were coming from, following AFRALO's successful election of new leadership team to be led by Seun Ojedeji ( incoming Chair) and Aziz Hilali ( incoming Vice Chair). I do appreciate the role and support of Fatimata Seye Sylla (outgoing Vice Chair), Let me once again congratulate all the newly elected members and seek their support moving forward for the incoming leadership as we continue to grow AFRALO members and activities. I write this with nostalgia, given that this is my first and probably the last as the Editor-in-Chief of this new AFRALO Newsletter, but definitely not going to be my last in terms of contributions to the growth and sustenance of AFRALO and ICANN community. I must at this juncture express our gratitude to ALAC leadership and At-Large community members who stood by AFRALO delegates to the Third At-Large Summit (ATLAS III), to ensure that we make good use of this opportunity, using their contacts and time. Special Thanks to Leadership, ICANN staff and particularly the At-Large support staff Heidi, Gisella, Silvia, Evin, Yesim), the Travel Team and ICANN Africa Engagement Team led by the Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement, Mr. Pierre Dandjinou. We can only pray and urge you and team to continue to pilot the engagement train so as to sustain the tempo so far. For our ATLAS III Ambassadors, especially those who eventually succeeded in getting the Canadian visa, despite all the hiccups; we are looking forward to your active participation in ATLAS III and ICANN meeting in Montreal. We must make good use of this opportunity so as to encourage others starting from taking the sessions seriously as a number of activities have been well lined up including the plenary on Monday with focus on “Thought and Change Leadership” and a session on ‘Effective Communication’ with a number of breakout sessions, to name a few. Above all, network with peers and the wider ICANN community, it offers extra-opportunity to learn firsthand and I am sure that by the time ICANN66 and ATLAS III will be over, there will be light at the end of the tunnel, for us as individuals and Africa as a continent. Also central is the AFRALO monthly calls, which I think we must continue to be an open forum to share ideas of activities in our region and coordinate our RALO activities. Our active participation in the multistakeholder engagements within the ICANN community is important and valuable, so please continue to be active and engaged. I would like to welcome Ihab Osman and Mandla Msimang, the newly selected African members to the ICANN Board of Directors, we are looking forward to work with you and wish you the best in your new roles.I wish everyone, especially those traveling to Montreal for ICANN66 and very importantly to us, the ATLAS III, a safe trip and active participation. Lastly we lost one of the African Internet industry finest, Dr. Tarek Kamel (1962-2019) may his soul rest in peace, He was a true African Internet Pioneer. Enjoy this new dawn!

It provides news, key resources and interactive information sharing tools for individuals and end-user groups in the African region who are interested in ICANN and in shaping the future of the Internet. AFRALO aims to: - Strengthen users’ participation in ICANN decision-making structures - Help ensure that its members will actively encourage more direct participation by end users - Build Internet policy making capacity in the region - Reach out to Internet users on the issues in the scope of ICANN - Represent users’ interests and defining public interest aspects of Internet governance with specific focus on the areas of privacy, transparency, and accountability - Strengthen consumer protection in ICANN policies - Identify social impacts of technical infrastructure design - Take cultural diversity into account when formulating technical standards (e.g. IDN implementation) AFRALO currently consist of 61 ALSes <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> located in 32 countries and territories.

AFRALO Secretariat Update: ATLAS III The At-Large Summit (ATLAS III) is the third gathering of the representatives of Internet end-users participating in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) activities. In the activities leading to this stage, which is part of the 66th ICANN International Meeting <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…>, slated for Montréal, Canada, from 2 - 7 November 2019, the African Regional At-Large Organization (AFRALO) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> would be well represented. Noteworthy is that the selection process was divided into two parts; namely the assessment to ascertain membership of At-Large; a series of compulsory courses about ICANN and what it does; and already an active member within At-Large or in another section of ICANN, on behalf of At-Large.

For more information, please visit the At-Large Policy Advice Development Page <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> or contact At-Large staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>. The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) recently ratified the following statement: Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> The ALAC summarized its comments as follows: I. Strengthen ICANN’s bottom-up multistakeholder decision-making process and ensure that work gets done and policies are developed in an effective and timely manner. - Issue 1: Prioritization of work. ALAC feels this must be addressed (Category A). Some suggestions include: spreading the workload, increased outreach (ATLAS III, further incentives to keep contributing volunteers, adequate knowledge and resources (specified in II) The entire community,as well as ICANN.org <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> must contribute to the resolution of this problem. - Issue 2: Precision in scoping the work. This issue may fall into Category A - must be addressed - or Category B -- might be partially addressed in current processes. We foresee scoping that is tight and smart and relevant to the process. It is impossible to say who should be responsible when so much activity around it is unresolved. - Issue 3: Efficient use of resources. This is a category A issue which must be addressed. We recognize that it might be partially addressed by current processes but cannot assess the situation until these processes are completed. We are concerned that PDP 3.0 may offer efficiency at the cost of inclusiveness which we feel would be a backwards step in the evolution of ICANN’s MSM. - Issue 4: Roles and responsibilities and a holistic view of ICANN. This is a category A issue although it will require further processes to resolve. ALAC seeks a bottom-up review of roles and responsibilities as an independent process. II. Support and grow active, informed and effective stakeholder participation. Strategies to expand the concept of participation are offered as well as various resources and support needed to ensure informed participation. We consider this to be a Category A issue -- the model cannot evolve if it is not addressed. This is a major concern for At Large and other volunteer-based constituencies and all will need to be involved in addressing it. Support from ICANN,org and the Board will be necessary. - Issue 5: Representativeness and inclusiveness. Mentorship programs are a key part of ensuring that the MSM system remains representative and inclusive. Relevant constituencies as well as staff need to make sure these programs are working as they are intended and that they are reaching the right demographics. Inclusiveness at the leadership level needs to be improved through a bottom up process with staff assistance. III. Sustain and improve openness, inclusivity, accountability and transparency. - Issue 6: Culture, trust and silos. This is a category A issue that needs to be addressed in this process. All constituencies need to reach across their boundaries, respect for other viewpoints must be reinforced. This is a problem in many large organizations and there are professional services available to help build trust and cooperation. By engaging some of these services, ICANN.org <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> could help constituencies build a better working environment. - Issue 7: Complexity. This is an inherent feature of ICANN work, but where it can be alleviated, ICANN.org <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> should take the lead. Make sure information such as the website is well organized and understandable and closely monitor the internet governance environment for issues that will impact ICANN directly. - Issue 8: Consensus. Creating conditions that would facilitate consensus is the goal of the issues already listed. Preserving the voice of end users in the decision-making processes is crucial to ICANN’s MSM model -- a Category A issue in which all parties play a role but the role of the Board will be particularly important.

May I add my voice, and on behalf of my team in congratulating you, the Afralo leadership and editorial team on the launch of your newsletter. It is our sincere hope that with this newsletter, another channel for furthering awareness about ICANN and its remit in the Internet Ecosystem, including the important work of ALSes has been created! <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> Being the first edition of this newsletter, we take this opportunity to once again introduce our <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…>ICANN Africa Strategy <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> which was one of the first regional strategic documents ever developed in ICANN. It was developed by the Africa The Africa Strategy Working Group (ASWG) and presented during ICANN49 in Toronto. It was adopted by ICANN in 2012 and officially launched in 2013. The strategy remains the cornerstone and road map of our engagement efforts in the continent <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> . Through a two-pronged approach, the Strategy aims to encourage participation of the African Internet community in ICANN as well as build capacity amongst stakeholders to foster the domain name industry in Africa. Thus, we have two broad objectives; <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> · Awareness Creation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> - Promote Awareness and Meaningful Participation of Africa in ICANN & the wider IG Ecosystem in partnership with other I* and Af* Organizations. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> · Build Capacity <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…>- Transform the DNS & Internet Industry in Africa by Facilitating capacity development and Cultivating an environment for the emergence of an Africa grown domain name industry and business. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> Almost six years later, several flagship programs and projects have been implemented in the region including with varying degrees of success, they include; The DNSSEC roadshow series, The Africa DNS Forum amongst others. ( <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…>See our 5-Year Implementation Report for full details <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…>) Equally, we have also had an opportunity, together with you, the community, to review the strategy severally to keep it aligned with changing needs and realities at ICANN. Our Africa strategy thus remains a living document, and we are looking forward to the next iteration to review and realign it with the current ICANN org 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. In this regard, we look forward to a continued and even deeper collaboration with Afralo leadership and team as a whole to make this a reality. Thank you and congratulation once more. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bcytASM_AEg9T4MZ84G-uGCby43hYlK4_gR2aSImS-az…> AFRALO, ICANN Community Mourn Dr. Tarek Kamel As the preparation for the ICANN66 advanced, the African Regional At-Large Organisation (AFRALO) was saddened on October 10 the passage of Dr. Tarek Kamel to great beyond. Until his death, Kamel was ICANN's Senior Advisor to the President and Senior Vice President of Government and Intergovernmental Organization (IGO) Engagement.
