Registering a CO.KE domain from down south
by Mark Elkins 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

Hello people, I'm sure someone can help me here. I'm a Registrar - just not for KE domains. I want on behalf of a customer, to buy two CO.KE domains for his business - which whilst South African based - is also selling in Kenya. I already run a dozen or so of his domains. As non-Kenyans can not yet be Registrars in Kenya:- a) I need a friendly Kenyan Registrar, b) I want to pay by Credit Card, c) supply just the Nameservers (I'll run the DNS and other services on my own systems) d) and as a bonus - I'd like to supply the DS records for DNSSEC provisioning. As soon as non-Kenyan Registrars are allowed - I'll bring all this home to me. Who should I choose? Most people want to supply everything to me - I'm just looking for Registration services. -- Mark James ELKINS - Posix Systems - (South) Africa mje(a)posix.co.za Tel: +27.128070590 Cell: +27.826010496 For fast, reliable, low cost Internet in ZA: https://ftth.posix.co.za

by Ory Okolloh 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

See below. Sent from my phone, brevity and typos expected. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Dear Ory, I hope you are well. My colleague Serah Rono, told me you might be able to help me with our research. My name is Mor Rubinstein, and I am the community coordinator for The State of Open Data report, a report that aims to look critically at the open data movement across themes, stakeholders and regions in the last 10 years. The main goal of this research is to learn in order to shape the future of open data based on information and evidence gathered from the community. With more than 30 individual authors, an Editorial Board, and a development methodology that allows for flexibility and community feedback, The State of Open Data will bring multiple points of view to the final publication. We are trying to make this report diverse and inclusive. This is why we chose to have an open research approach. Our authors wrote short scans about their chapters and are looking for community input about them. You can learn more about the scans here <https://medium.com/@stateofopendata/the-state-of-open-data-join-the-investi…> . We are looking for more community input and I was wondering if you can help us by commenting and spread the word about it? The scan is short and any comment is welcome. You can find the scan about Sub Saharan here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKGthngHjjjP5m2WajQTBXVRiEGqc Pn1BIVvSuMcPs4/edit?ts=5a525c07 Thank you, Mor

We should proceed with caution on the cybercrimes bill
by Grace Githaiga 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

Listers See Walu's blog in yesterday's Daily Nation. The Computer and Cybercrimes Bill of 2017 is before Parliament and undergoing public consultations. Whereas it does contain contentious clauses, we must be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water. This is because the Cybercrimes Bill is one of the four pending bills that are required to usher in a true digital economy for Kenya. The other three are the Data Protection Act, the Electronic Transactions Act and the Copyright Act.

Talk to the Senate- 2017/2022 Priorities
by Grace Githaiga 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Dear Listers Greetings! Kindly allow me to t briefly interrupt you from the turning off of TV signals debate, to make a short announcement. As you are aware, the role of the Senate is to represent the counties, serve, and protect the interests of the counties and their governments. The Senate Committee is currently developing its agenda and is keen on interacting with various players in the ICT community. Of interest to the Committee, is what needs to be done or prioritised in relation to ICT and the counties. This can range from issues of infrastructure, problem with implementation of legislation, acts that need revision, resources etc. In light of this, KICTANet recently called on the the Senate Committee on ICT leadership. To this end, we are honoured to have Sen. Abshiro Halake, the vice-chair of the Committee on the list. Therefore, we propose to hold a structured discussion over three(3) days on this list, starting on (Monday February 5th to Wednesday February 7th February 2018- next week). The aim will be to propose priorities that the ICT Senate Committee should include in their agenda to spur economic and social growth. Mercy Mutemi will moderate the discussion. The questions for discussionwill fall under the following broad thematic areas: a) What are the key ICT issues(challenges and opportunities) in the Counties that require the attention of the Senate? b) What are the ICT issues that need legislative intervention by the Senate Committee (E.g. proposals for a new law or a law that needs amendment)? c) What can the SenateCommittee do to strengthen its engagement with the ICT community on ICT law and policy? A report will be prepared from the suggestions given here on the list and shared with the Senate ICT Committee. We will also agree with Senator Abshiro on a future date for a face to face meeting. KICTANet has been at theforefront in pushing for effective public participation in policy making. Now that we have the opportunity to speak to legislators, we must heed the call and participate! Asanteni sana. And looking forward to a stimulating discussion as has been demonstrated on the list recently. Best regards Githaiga, Grace Co-Convenor Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) Twitter:@ggithaiga Tel: 254722701495 Skype: gracegithaiga Alternate email: ggithaiga(a)hotmail.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracegithaiga www.kictanet.or.ke "Change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged and come together to demand it.
