Mutua is at it again: KFCB Draft.

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.

It is a detailed, in depth, carefully worded document – not perfect – but far and away one of the better v6 documents I have seen coming out of any regulator. There is plenty to learn from in there.

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. As v4 runs out – that dual-stack becomes more and more critical because it will enable the full transition when the time comes for it. How soon that will come is hard to say – but it is coming. 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. The fear of handling addressing plans in hexadecimal is also prohibiting growth. I run into that one a lot – people having issues with the address planning. c.) The last question is the million dollar one – because the reality is – all it takes is will power and a willingness to actually take some action. The simple fact is – we had a relatively small team on this – we committed a bunch of hours – we stuck our heads down and did it. We did not spend money – other than the cost of the time (which is an OPEX cost admittedly). We said ourselves deadlines and we DID it. There are those who propose that setting policies to try and force v6 is workable – it’s not – unless the will is there it will achieve nothing. People have to WANT this. It is a matter of desire and a matter of seeing the benefits – the benefits are future proofing – they are not based on revenue generation, but more revenue retention. And if anyone wants to see just how much impact you can have with a small team that actually has the desire, please see the following stats out of Zimbabwe (our largest consumer market) http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ip v6/ZW?b=20161001&d=10 http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ip v6/AS30969?b=20161001&d=10 http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ip v6/XB?b=20161001&d=10 (I see things have slightly dropped off today, these stats tend to fluctuate, but fact is – it’s out there and it work’s.

Dear Andrew, Many thanks for the feedback and for sharing the policy which i believe is a good starting point.

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.

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:skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke] 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:Lavenda.Watila@kcdf.or.ke> 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.

Fwd: [IANA-issues] House OKs legislation to avert federal shutdown

Listers, This is for your information and attention. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:44:19 +0200 Subject: [IANA-issues] House OKs legislation to avert federal shutdown To: "iana-issues(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" <iana-issues(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> http://www.chron.com/news/politics/article/Deal-averts-federal-shutdown-ign… The House passed the bill funding the government through Dec. 9 late Wednesday in a 342-85 vote after the Senate easily approved it earlier that afternoon. The bill contained no references to the IANA oversight transition. It increasingly looks like the NTIA contract will end in 48H and the IANA Stewardship Transition will be complete.
