Compliance in the Telco Sector - The case of MTN
by Ali Hussein 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Listers This is an interesting case of a regulator finally swinging into action after a former finance minister was kidnapped and the authorities couldn’t trace the sim cards used in the crime. When Nigeria failed to trace owners of SIM cards used by kidnappers of a prominent politician in September, it was the final straw for the west African country after what it called a string of violations by telecoms firm MTN Group. Africa’s biggest mobile phone company was given a $5.2 billion penalty by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) last month after the South African company failed to cut off users with unregistered SIM cards from its network. Nigeria has been pushing industry players to verify the identity of their subscribers on worries that unregistered SIM cards were being used for criminal activity in a country facing Islamic militant group Boko Haram’s insurgency.

Experts in consumer protections, economics and security are highly desired, and geographic diversity will be taken into account when selecting review team member. Any travel required will be funded by ICANN. The deadline for expressing interest is 13 November 2013 at 11:59 UTC. Apply Now!<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en> Participants selected as CCT Review Team members will pioneer an ongoing effort to track and examine data about the domain name industry and system. Their analysis of how new gTLDs are affecting the market place and the Internet's root zone will impact future rounds of the New gTLD Program through potential changes to policy. Enhancing competition, choice and trust in the domain name space are key goals of the New gTLD Program, and the Internet community has a vested interest in determining whether new gTLDs have delivered on these promises. CCT Review Team members will represent the broader community in determining these conclusions. Team members will be chosen in December 2015 and work is scheduled to begin in January 2016. Participants are expected to work closely with one another and there will be opportunities to network with other fellow community members. The CCT Review Team will set its own schedule for data collection, analysis and reporting, with the goal of producing its final report by 31 December 2016. The review of the New gTLD Program in regard to competition, consumer trust and consumer choice is mandated by ICANN's Affirmation of Commitments. The review team is tasked with examining "the extent to which the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust and consumer choice, as well as effectiveness of (a) the application and evaluation process, and (b) safeguards put in place to mitigate issues involved in the introduction or expansion." The team will consider multiple inputs in its deliberation, including metrics recommended by the Internet community. ICANN has been collecting data for those metrics and recently created a webpage<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/cct/metrics> where this information is displayed. Other metrics were captured in global surveys of Internet users and domain name registrants, and through an economic study. -- Barrack O.

Fwd: ICT Authority Chanuka Newsletter: October 2015
by Phyllis Nyambura 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Listers, Below is the ICT Authority Quarterly newsletter. You can reach me for any further information. Message from the Chief Executive Officer *Looking at ICT in Government through one lens* Two years ago, when the ICT Authority was formed our vision was that of consolidation of ICT functions across government. This was necessitated by the fact that the management, support and acquisition of ICT goods and services was often fragmented and uncoordinated leading to duplications, wastage and difficulties in sharing data across systems. This has also exposed Government Systems to poor software licensing regimes, inefficient support services and cyber threats. To address this challenge we started by developing the Government Enterprise Architecture (GEA) and key domain standards in collaboration with Kenya Bureau of Standards. We have so far established a working framework with all public entities. Check standards here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cJ7H_R9E0F_VyMtynBcBcrPVrsu_aqxCCwKXGZtScS11…> We are now following up with compliance, with support from relevant government organs and effective mid-October, 2015 the Authority will oversee the below: 1. Guide the acquisition of ICT goods and services and implementation of ICT projects for all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA's). 2. Sign Service Level Agreements with MDAs to govern the quality of services provided to them under the Frameworks agreements. 3. Determine whether new requirements from MDA's can be met within an existing Framework Agreement and engage with new or existing vendors to meet new requirements. 4. Work with MDA's in compliance of the guidelines and standards. This is a welcome move to us and our stakeholders as we look into building a more receptive, robust and largescale ICT use in public service. For more information on this do contact us at *communications(a)ict.go.ke* Wishing you a productive last quarter of 2015. *Eng. Victor Kyalo,* *Chief Executive Officer* *ICT Authority* *Establishment of Enterprise Kenya (EK)* We are looking to operationalize Enterprise Kenya,a national accelerator, responsible for nurturing ICT innovations in the country. The initiative will provide entrepreneurs with needed support across the innovation value chain from idea to growth to scaling stages. The accelerator will be domiciled at ICT Authority. The key areas of focus will be: - Scaling up ICT start - ups to commercialization. To this end, innovators will be introduced to experts in the ICT industry as well as potential customers. - Enterprise Kenya will invest financially to selected potential innovators. - Facilitate Export - Innovators will participate in trade related forums - Secure Investment advice - A professional private Equity Fund Manager will be contracted to oversee day to day administration of the National ICT Innovation Fund A board sub-committee comprising of 4 members has been selected and approved . We anticipate to complete the following by December 2015. Appointment of ; - Acting Head of EK Secretariat - Private Sector members (6 including chair) of EK - Working Team Advisory Council - Council of Patrons This initiative is spearheaded by His Excellency The President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, who pledged KES 1 billion as seed fund to jump start Enterprise Kenya during the Kenya ICT Innovation held on 3rd and 4th March 2015. Additional funds will be from the private sector. Investors will benefit from acquiring equity in the firms under Enterprise Kenya. *Explore Kenya's history through accessing images and video online* An online portal will be made available from December 2015 to allow citizens to view and purchase copies of Kenya historical images. The team has so far scanned and indexed over 40,000 images out of a collection of nearly 1 million images and documents from the Kenya News Agency archive. The ICT Authority is implementing the digitization of the images.

The Kenya Open Data Initiative launched their new portal in July 2015, and has seen the number of datasets grow to 692 from 680 in just a few months. In addition, Kenya Open Data has launched a budget app http://budget.opendata.go.ke/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001cJ7H_R9E0F_VyMtynBcBcrPVrsu_aqxCCwKXGZtScS11…> that makes it easy for citizens, officials and other stakeholders to interact with budget data and enhance engagement in transparency in financial planning at the National Level. To increase data surfacing, KODI has introduced the Open Data Fellows program that embeds eight fellows in three government ministries (Agricultural Food and Fisheries Authority - AFFA, The Auditor General's Office (KENAO), National Transport and Safety Authority - NTSA) and Kiambu County Government. In July, the portal was awarded as one of the top 3 open data portals worldwide in award scheme sponsored by Bloomberg and Open Data Institute.

Key thematic areas that have been considered for standards include: 1. Infrastructure 2. Information security 3. Application systems 4. Information Management 5. ICT Human Resource Management 6. IT Governance A circular has been issued to ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDA's) to comply with the standards. A third stakeholder workshop is being organized for the heads of ICT in ministries and agencies to sensitize them on the standards compliance and how to develop their own Enterprise Architectures in line with the Government Enterprise Architecture (GEA) *Further deliberations on the draft Critical Infrastructure Bill* The draft Critical Infrastructure Bill is expected to be presented to parliament in November 2015 for further deliberations before it is passed to law.
