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

Good People Since the CA has decided to remain silent on this issue it is incumbent on us to ensure that this report is read and understood before the 20th meeting. Please find attached the same. I urge those who can find the time to please attend the meeting to ensure that we are heard on this issue. This report is public information, paid for by Kenyans taxes so I simply don't understand why the reluctance to share it.

Fwd: State of Open Data in Sub Saharan Africa
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

I nteresting statistics on the state of the Internet . Do we have critical mass? Bloggers great work! You guys are getting organized in a very meaningful way. What are the implications for businesses and organizations in general ? For me here are some:- 1. Organisations Government must have a #WhatsAppStrategy going forward 2. We love to watch video more than #Facebooking :-) 3. Instagram is interesting 4. Linkedin is certainly a must do for professionals looking to advance their careers and for businesses engaged in B2B and looking to recruit top talent 5. Twitter - punches way above its weight and politicians can afford to ignore it? #Maybe :-) 6. Snapchat s in its early days and Facebook i s for us #OldGeezers? :-) Interesting times ahead! *Ali Hussein* *Principal* *AHK & Associates* Tel: +254 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> 13th Floor , Delta Towers, Oracle Wing, Chiromo Road, Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya.
