Jadili the Proposed Kenya's Film, Stage Plays and Publications Law
by Mose Karanja 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Greetings from Strathmore. The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) has published the Films, Stage Plays and Publications Bill (2016) as part of reviewing the existing the Film and Stage Plays Act Cap222 with the aim of aligning it with the Constitution of Kenya (2010). As an effort to use technology to supplement existing public participation avenues in Kenyan law making, we have developed Jadili <http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kfcb2016>, an open source project running on Madison <https://github.com/opengovfoundation/madison> as a transparent tool for aggregating pubic sentiments, comments and annotations to specific parts of proposed laws. We hope you can use Jadili to read the Bill, support or oppose it, single out specific clauses and provide alternative wording. This, we think, is a progressive path to constructive public participation as it avoids the general good/bad dichotomy while giving the drafters much more insight into which parts of the Bill need revision. After the public participation window closes, we send ALL input as received to the drafters for their consideration. I hope you will use Jadili and if you have any suggestions to improve on it, that will be greatly appreciated. Find the Bill here: http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kfcb2016 <http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kfcb2016> ~~~ www.moseskaranja.com/blog

IPv6 Chapter 254
by Kevin Kamonye 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

As always, thanks Ali and team for breathing some life into this one. My story with IPv6 started much longer than I can remember. The key moment, however, came in 2010/2011 when the hype hit its peak due to the then projected exhaustion of IANA's central pool (officially announced in 3/02/2011). I was working at KDN at the time and being the largest IP transit provider in the region, a decision was agreed by all that we had to move quick - I think mostly to avoid potential embarrassment :) Our then HOD David W. K., and I sincerely applaud him for the work he has put into building the Telecom Industry in the region, got wind of an Afrinic IPv6 Workshop in Ghana and 13 days later another very commendable colleague and myself were in that class and it all went superbly well. The problem for me started a few weeks after I got back because I realised that there really wasn't a particular motivation for us to get the other providers to respond (though the hard-core techies like us did some 'test' peering here and there). We even conducted a major upgrade on KDN's infrastructure at KIXP to ensure that all ISPs could get at least 1Gbps capacity ( though this was mostly driven by the Google Youtube Cache that we deployed to handle the post-Seacom Internet traffic explosion in 254 and region). We also pursued ISPs in the region through forums such as AfPIF, ISOC etc. but the matter collapsed mostly due to natural causes. In short, I would say that there will never be a major crisis as regards to IPv4 exhaustion. Techies will do their thing of patching networks until they can't do it anymore and then they will switch the rest of the population to IPv6. What we can do for now is to follow in the example of formulating the policies, which I can volunteer some of my time as would be needed. Lastly, I will quote from this <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ipv4-exhaustion-5-implications-africa-runnin…> article by one of the guys that led us through the training at NIITA back in 2011 (and I advise going it through in full if you want to learn more of IPv6 in Africa) *Implication #3: Driving Complacency in Africa Towards IPv6 Adoption* *[image: Inline images 1]* *So long as it is still possible and easy to get IPv4 addresses, 95% of network operators will do so; humans (and the organisations that they make up) don't change easily. Particularly, organisations fixated on short term results will fail to realise that using every every single IPv4 address available to AFRINIC is not enough for us to catch up with the rest of the world. Not being able to look beyond a the proverbial tree to the forest, it is easy to totally be blind to drastic change in resource availability that will result if one of Africa's large mobile telecommunications companies (say MTN) decides to remove NAT on their mobile networks and give each mobile user a true Internet access experience using public IP addresses (I didn't think it was possible until experienced it for myself in Dar es Salaam last year with Airtel).* *Networks will move to deploy IPv6 under the following influences:* *a) The cost of getting IPv4 addresses becomes un-bearable (as would be if they have to be acquired from the Transfer market) * *b) There are no IPv4 addresses to be gotten, anywhere (even if you have money to buy them)* *c) The network's owners have this blinding insight of the obvious that the IPv4 game is an un-winable one and IPv6 is the only sustainable way* *d) Some powerful entity forces them (by mandates or by incentives) to deploy IPv6 (like gov't IT regulators)* *For most African companies, scenarios (a & b) are unlikely to happen in next 2 – 3 years (unless the shell companies increase and succeed in getting addresses which depletes AFRINIC's current space). Only a few network operators to my knowledge pay anything other that lip service to scenario (c) and the only party that can make scenario (d) happen (gov't regulators) still largely don't know how to go about it (if you are an African gov't IT leader and need help with this, I might be able to help). Therefore, we have ourselves an IPv4 address resource curse!* Good afternoon, *Kevin K. K.* *+254720789158* On 10 October 2016 at 14:42, Barrack Otieno via kictanet < kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: > Dear Andrew, > > Many thanks for the feedback and for sharing the policy which i > believe is a good starting point.

Mutua is at it again: KFCB Draft.
by Collins Areba 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Dear Listers, Apologies if this has been shared before. I would like to bring your attention to this bill... http://kfcb.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DRAFT-BILL-KFCB-21-7-Draft-10.… In particular to chapter 39 which specifically refers to Internet Service Providers. I think in their zeal to create a solution where no problem exists they are forcibly trying to provide service providers into being enforcers of said bill. This would at worst mean Forced DPI on the service providers end, which I might argue is an infringement on privacy: a fundamental right, yes? -- Regards, Collins Areba, Kilifi, Kenya.

Thank you Ali for that. Some of these issues have been debated thoroughly in several forums. It's very important we continue debating them until we see an exponential growth of IPv6 in the continent. To answer a few questions, there is a clear justification on why it is necessary to migrate to IPv6. Among them: - There are no enough IPv4 remaining for everyone. There are more devices, and people on earth than IPv4. Maximum IPv4 addresses are 4billion. Population of Earth is 7.3Billion. Maximum IPv6 address 3.4×10 38 - Migration will not happen overnight since the recommended implementation is dual-stacking; that is, running IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel. We are not telling people to do away with IPv4, but to run the two protocols in parallel. - To be a producer of information, you cannot use a shared IP, you need a dedicated IP. This has been a big challenge in the continent. We have stifled innovation by using shared IPs. - There are many services now around the world which are IPv6 only website and services. If you are not on IPv6, you cannot get to these networks. Africa may get into what I can call "Information dark age" if we cannot acess some parts of the Internet. - IPv6 is necessary for business growth. How? How will your business scale when IPv4 has run out? What has AFRINIC done to bridge the gap? 1. Trainings. This year alone, AFRINIC is conducting free IPv6 trainings to over 23 countries across the continent. Kenya was among the beneficiaries. Check this link http://www.afrinic.net/services/training AFRINIC has an extensive training program provides free training to over 600 network engineers per year on Internet Number Resources Management (INRM) and IPv6 Planning and Deployment. Our training courses are always growing to support the technologies related to Internet resources, including DNSSEC & RPKI. AFRINIC's IPv6 course are IPv6 Forum (Gold) Certified and are fully hands-on, making use of extensive IPv6 testbed access which gives participants hands-on experience on real equipment to configure, test and troubleshoot IPv6. 2. AFRINIC has a Government Working Group (AfGWG). Here government players are brought together to be sensitized on the need to push for IPv6 adoption, and rollout of IXPs, among other. Here is the link https://meeting.afrinic.net/afgwg/ 3. Issuance of v6 blocks to ISPs. All ISPs have been issued V6 blocks by AFRINIC. What we should be seeing now is clients insisting they want the ISPs to pass the benefits to the end users. What can you do? - Government Organizations: Coordinate with industry to support and promote awareness and educational activities. Adopt regulatory and economic incentives to encourage IPv6 adoption. Require IPv6 compatibility in procurement procedures. Officially adopt IPv6 within your government agencies. - Broadband Access Providers: Your customers want access to the entire Internet, and this means IPv4 and IPv6 websites. Offering full access requires running IPv4/IPv6 transition services and is a significant engineering project. Multiple transition technologies are available, and each provider needs to make their own architectural decisions. - Internet Service Providers: Implement a plan that will allow your customers to connect to the Internet via IPv6 and IPv6/IPv4, not just IPv4. Businesses are beginning to ask for IPv6 over their existing Internet connections and for their co-located servers. Communicate with your peers and vendors about IPv6, and confirm their timelines for production IPv6 services. - Internet Content Providers: Content must be reachable to future Internet customers. Plan on serving content via IPv6 in addition to IPv4 as soon as possible. - Enterprise Customers: Email, web, and application servers must be reachable via IPv6 in addition to IPv4. Open a dialogue with your ISP about providing IPv6 services. Each organization must decide on timelines, and investment level will vary. What is the role of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in deploying IPv6? This linkhttps://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/afripv6-discuss/attachments/2016071… contains some very interesting statistics and findings on V6 deployments around the world, shared at the OECD Ministerial Meeting in June2016. One lesson we can learn from this is work very closely with ISPs. That seems to be the solution in the success stories. *Some statistics on deployments* Belgium 55.11%, Germany 34.50%, United States 32.83% Greece 28.53% Portugal 25.80% Ecuador 20.8%, Peru 19.35%, Estonia 17,32% Japan 16.61%, Canada 9.83% Norway 6.65% Bolivia 3.8% Italy 0.73% Spain 0.7% Denmark 0.61% Some interesting findings is that deployment depends on the large ISPs uptake of v6 regardless of economic circumstances. e.g Peru has a lower per capita but has more deployment than Norway. Portugal with $22,000/capita and Greece $21,000/capita are outperforming Denmark with $60,000/capita. Canada $45,000/capita is trailing Estonia with $19,000/capita. In the success stories, the majority of the commercial access market products have IPv6 enabled by default, and competing products have matching features.

Firstly – I think we need to be careful about referring to blanket transition – what Liquid has said is, we have to be ready with dual-stack networks.

What are the major impediments? There are 2 or 3 major points here: a.) Lack of will to actually do it – it takes work, it takes time, it takes effort – and the will power to actually move beyond talking the talk into walking the walk doesn’t seem to be there b.) Lack of understanding/skill – The fact is that implementing v6 vs implementing v4 – it’s just another protocol, same routing, same everything. But there is a fear factor walking into something that is misunderstood. That lack of understanding that you can build this simultaneously in the same way you build v4, creates the fear factor.

Re: [kictanet] Proposed Film Bill

This has become the norm in Kenya now. The trend has become to licence activities which never used to be licensed. I remember the Science, Technology and Innovation Act of 2015 (I think) which became law and requires licences for any kind of research. In other words, you cannot do research as part of your business without getting a licence. There was an attempt to form the Kenya Accreditation Agency (another privately sponsored bill by Hon. Duale) which failed. We recently had ICT Practitioners Bill which flopped. (I’m sure there are many others which do not directly impact me.) Now this… it’s copy cat scheme to privatise rights.

Proposed Film Bill
by Mildred Achoch 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Dear Listers, There will be a stakeholders meeting on the *11th of October 2016* at the Louis Leakey Auditorium, National Museum, to discuss the proposed film bill from 8.30am. Each guild or association is supposed to forward the names and contacts of at least 7 members so that they can attend the forum. I was wondering whether Kictanet is aware of this? The proposed film bill will definitely have an impact on the ICT community, including ISP providers. As a filmmaker, I am very concerned with a lot of the details in the proposed bill. Here is just one example: Regards, Mildred Achoch. Check out the Rock 'n' roll film festival, Kenya TV Channel! http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com

Dear Listers, May be relevant to some of you. Regards, Alex From: Lavenda Watila via skunkworks [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2016 10:14 AM To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] ICT for development convening Target Audience ICT professionals from NON PROFIT organisations 6th October 2016 Dear Participant, RE:INVITATION TO THE INAUGURAL ICT-FOR-DEVELOPMENTCONVENING ON OCTOBER, 13TH 2016 AT PRIDE INN HOTEL –WESTLANDS ROAD. Microsoft Kenya, TechSoup Kenya and Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) cordially invite you to an ICT-4-Development convening on Thursday 13th October 2016 at the Pride Inn Hotel along, Westlands Road starting from 8.30AM – 4.00PM. Technology has a huge impact on how organisations achieve their goals across all sectors. The transformative potential of technology has become a key cornerstone in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of non-profits in their quest to address sustainable development programmes. The reality of embracing the true potential of technology is however made more challenging by the ever-changing environment that Non-profits operate in. This forces the Non-Profit sector to innovate and create progressive partnerships with private sector organisations as well as amongst themeselves to enhance their adoption and utilisation of ICT to increase the impact of their development programmes hence the objective of this convening. This convening aims to bring together over 200 IT professionals and Monitoring & Impact Assessment practitioners from the non-profit sector to come together and explore as well as share their experience in using ICT in improving their efficiency and effectiveness in their core mandates. The convening will also bring together critical ICT service providers to showcase some of the products that the Non Profit Sector can utilise in their operations while offering them at highly discounted prices. The convening will take the form of participatory plenary sessions as well as breakout sessions with a focus on experiential and practical applications and trends of ICT solutions as highlighted in the programme annexed with this invitation. Kindly confirm your attendance by 8th October 2016 through Lavenda Watila at <mailto:[email protected]> Lavenda.Watila(a)kcdf.or.ke or through Tel 0722 927559. We look forward to having you participate in the convening. On behalf of the partner organisations Janet Mawiyoo Executive Director Kenya Community Development Foundation regards Lavenda Watila

Where Innovation and Regulation Meet!
by Erick Mwangi 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Thanks Ali once again for the minutes. Government will always seem to have a heavy hand when it comes to new innovation due to a number of factors ie: 1) Uncertainty 2) Contention over resources 3) Disruption and unforeseen eventualities 4) The public good However i would imagine as a way forward we can suggest various lenses in which the government can approach Blockchain when it comes to regulation. There are two options as to which we can embark on: 1*) Principle based* The regulatory body provides the market participants with principles that should serve to guide their activity while allowing them discretion to decide how they will meet their regulatory obligations. *2) Performance based* The regulatory body puts forward certain metrics that market participants are required or encouraged to meet. I posit the second option is what would be ideal for such a nascent technology but willing to hear views from others.
