Mr Alan Barrett will assume the role of CEO of AFRINIC with effect from 20th April 2015 for a term of 3 years in the first instance. He replaces Mr Adiel Akplogan, who served as the Pioneer CEO, until January 2015. Alan Barrett's involvement with the Internet began in 1989, when he was a lecturer in the Electronic Engineering department at the University of Natal, Durban, South Africa. During 1990 and 1991, he played a key part in the transformation of the South African universities network to the TCP/IP protocols and in its connection to the global Internet. He operated the primary name server for .ZA at that time. He was a co-founder of South Africa's first commercial Internet service provider, in 1993. In 1997, he was one of the four authors of the proposal to form AFRINIC, and he served on the AFRINIC Board from its inception until 2009. He has been a member of the ASO Address Council since 2005. He is currently a member of the CRISP Team, which drafted the number resource community's response to the ICG's request for proposals. He is also a member of the ICG, which is preparing a proposal for the transition of the IANA functions away from oversight by the US government's NTIA. He was also one of the founding members of the South African chapter of the Internet Society, and one of the founding members of Namespace ZA, an organisation that was intended to oversee the .ZA ccTLD before that role was taken over by legislation. Join me in congratulating Alan, and wishing him the best in his new position.

Battle for African Internet Users Sparks fears
by Ali Hussein 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Listers Interesting discussion going on about zero rating certain services within a walled Facebook/Google garden. I think some telcos are running campaigns where after your internet bundles are exhausted you can still use Facebook or Google Apps. For more:- http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/24/us-africa-internet-idUSKBN0MK10F2… It's easy to applaud search measures to offer 'free' connectivity. However some markets have already outlawed such practices as anti-competitive and designed to lure users to certain services at the detriment of others who don't have the deep pockets of the Multi-Nationals. It's all about eyeballs. which drive advertising. What's the CA's position on this practice? *Ali Hussein* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Re: [kictanet] Central Bank of Kenya and Electronic Payments
by Barrack Otieno 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Listers, A local electronic payment (RTGs) was initiated in my favor yesterday at 9 am. Until now i haven't received the funds 24 hours later and the bank seems to lay the blame with the Central Bank of Kenya clearing unit. I wonder if this is healthy for our growing electronic commerce industry and most importantly as stakeholders what role can we play to make sure CBK is efficient if the claims are true, i also wonder if this is a switching issue or pure bureaucracy.

Without it, we might not have been able to spread the word about what happened to Mike Brown or Eric Garner. Our ability to be heard, counted, and visible in our democracy depends on net neutrality, because it allows voices and ideas to spread based on their quality — not the amount of money behind them. > > Because millions of people stood up to fight for net neutrality, the FCC is now putting in place strong rules to protect net neutrality.

It’s what makes the Internet so diverse, and so powerful. > > ColorOfChange.org wouldn’t have gotten off the ground without an open Internet. We began almost ten years ago with an email to a couple thousand friends and colleagues. Our membership grew as people signed our petitions and passed them on. Our message spread to the degree that it resonated. Now, we have more than a million members, and we’ve spearheaded or contributed to many important civil rights victories. > > For years, big Internet service providers like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast have tried to destroy net neutrality, so they can make a killing by creating fast and slow lanes online. If they succeed, corporations would dominate the Internet by paying to prioritize their content online, and the voices of everyday people would be drowned out or blocked entirely. > > Just a year ago, very few people thought a victory this big was possible. The telecom industry was spending millions to influence the debate, and it looked like they were winning. Sadly, they succeeded in buying the support of civil rights organizations like the NAACP, Rainbow PUSH, and National Action Network, who echoed talking points from the telecom industry rooted in trickle down economics. Some Black members of Congress joined the ISPs, after taking big campaign contributions from the telecom industry. > > As we raised our voices to make it clear that net neutrality is essential for civil rights, some of those who were being paid to carry water for the telecoms told us that this wasn’t our issue, and that we couldn’t win. They said we didn't know how Washington worked; that it was a done deal; that the big telecom companies and the legacy civil rights groups with telecom money were too strong for us and our allies to face down. > > What they underestimated was the power of everyday people using our voices strategically, empowered by the open Internet. ColorOfChange members worked together with members of organizations like the Center for Media Justice, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, Presente.org, Free Press, Demand Progress, Fight for the Future, CREDO Action, and MoveOn.org. Together, we stood up to big money and refused to back down, and we defied the conventional wisdom in Washington that says that money always beats people power. > > With the grassroots at their back, Black members of Congress like Rep. John Lewis, Rep. Keith Ellison and Rep. Maxine Waters rallied their colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus to support net neutrality in greater numbers than ever before. President Obama spoke out forcefully — which would have been much harder for him to do if it looked like he was acting against the wishes of the civil rights community. The president’s action changed the political calculus in Washington, giving the FCC cover to push for stronger net neutrality rules. > > Now, the FCC is finally doing what supporters of net neutrality have been demanding for years. We’ll have to remain vigilant to make sure that the FCC enforces its rules aggressively, and that Congress doesn’t undermine net neutrality. > > But this is a massive victory, and it belongs to all of us.

Music Piracy in Kenya - Government can Help
by Bernard Kioko [Bernsoft Interactive Limited] 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Bwana Daktari, The music industry in Kenya is unable to grow. Companies like mine and individuals are investing money in creating music but the same cannot be commercialized effectively. One of the main problems is organized piracy. Take for example the website WAPKID.COM, this website provides almost every Kenyan song FREE FOR DOWNLOAD. The website at the moment lists the following as popular tags - meaning these are the artists whose content is currently heavily being downloaded. I understand that this website is offering pirated content because Music works that is owned and copyright administered by myself is being offered for FREE here - the total investment I made for the songs on offer is Ksh. 5million over the last 2 years and now I have no way to recover my investment by sales since consumers can opt for free. John De Mathew - Nimwamenyire Muno Wangari Wa Kabera - Aciari Redsun - Shika Glasi Sam Kinuthia - Muiritu Wa Gikomba Onyi Papa Jey - Migingo Dhi Muigai Njoroge - Muti Utari Matunda Kamaru - Nairobi Iraguo Ki Kamande Wa Kioi - Kapusi Kakwa Salim - Kanyina Kanini Kamande Wa Kioi - Githukia Tombo It's possible that these artists and many more don't actually know that this exists BUT millions of Kenyans are downloading the music and who is benefiting? The Network Operators who charge money based on the data downloads. Infact, at one point, one of the mobile operators even sent SMS advertisements to their subscribers urging them to access content from WapKid.com As an industry, we are bleeding and desperately in need of government support to stop this organized piracy that is benefiting local and international organization at the expense of our content and therefore killing and local development of content. As we seek your assistance, we are also doing something on our part. We will be meeting next week Wednesday 3rd October 3pm at Panafric as a music industry (Record labels, Kenya Copyright Board and Music Copyright Society of Kenya) to discuss and work out strategies that can help us especially in creating a clear licensing framework. We will also be announcing an Anti-Piracy Campaign called "iCareforMusic" whose aim is to educate the consumer on the benefits of getting music from licensed partners. We believe that either the government or the courts can issue an order blocking WAPKID.COM, MP3RAID.COM and any other website offering local music from being accessed and this is fairly easy at the ISP level. Before we take to the court route, we wish to seek a diplomatic route first. If we can stop this organized piracy, investing in a song would be worth it for the Artist, the Record Label and/or the music publisher. And in overall, KRA would collect tax from all of us. Everybody wins! Who knows, it would be even worth having a music studio at Konza City. Bwana PS, how can you assist our music industry? Kind regards Bernard Kioko Chief Executive Officer, Bernsoft

Fwd: Growing the L-Root Footprint in Africa

20 Mar '15

FYI... Bob. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bob Omondi <omondibob(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 10:09 PM Subject: Growing the L-Root Footprint in Africa To: AfrICANN list <africann(a)afrinic.net> Dear friends, We are happy to inform you of the continued interest we keep receiving from various Stakeholders / organizations keen on hosting our L-Root server instances in Africa. During ICANN 51, Fadi Chehade in his opening address noted the importance of keeping our L-Root copies actively growing, especially in Africa. Over the last year, we received close to eight requests from interested potential hosts and we are happy to report that 3 more L-Root copies have since been fully commissioned in 3 countries in Africa (Seychelles, Tanzania and Mauritius), all in the last three months. This brings to 12 in total, the number of L-Root copies in Africa and we are hopeful that by ICANN 55 in Marrakesh, we should have added more! This will significantly reduce the response time to resolve queries to the DNS root zone, enhancing Internet experience for users and, of course, strengthening Internet's critical infrastructure in Africa while demonstrating ICANN’s strong commitment to enhancing the stability & resiliency of the Internet globally. Kind Regards Bob.

Fwd: [AfrICANN-discuss] Notes from the webinar on ICANN registrar accreditation process
by Bob Omondi 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

FYI... B. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yaovi Atohoun <yaovi.atohoun(a)icann.org> Date: Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 10:59 AM Subject: [AfrICANN-discuss] Notes from the webinar on ICANN registrar accreditation process To: AfrICANN list <africann(a)afrinic.net> Dear listers, (FRANCAIS: Vous pouvez ecouter l'enregistrement du webinaire a l'adresse http://ftp.adigo.com/clients/icann/20150318_AfricanWebinar_FR.zip ) This was informed by the continued feedback received from the community on the need to understand the process better. The webinar attracted a total of 53 participants. This further underscores the importance of this topic. The participants were privileged to have David Olive (Vice President, Policy Development Support; General Manager, ICANN Regional Headquarters –Istanbul) give introductory remarks during the session and truly appreciate the support of our the invited speakers who made the session quite a success. The substance of the session was Danielle’s presentation, which gave an overview of registrar accreditation process from benefits, considerations, application overview as well as fees required. Aysegul gave a summary of the RA Requirements of Registry Operators Pertaining to Registrars. As expected, the session generated pertinent questions that both current ICANN registrars as well as potential applicants in Africa have always asked, the question of the USD 500K CGL insurance requirement. Danielle clarified that while the insurance requirement has not changed as of now, it was the basis of the recently closed Public Comment Sought <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/raa-insurance-2015-01-15-en> on *Potential Change to Registrar Accreditation Insurance Requirement for underserved regions*.Other concerns were on the fluctuating dollar rates on fees especially in local currency. Overall, this webinar was critical in helping clarify questions and concerns from registrars directly by the GDD team. The community also got direct contacts of the relevant staff for further questions in future. It was recommended that we consider holding monthly webinars on such technical issues affecting registrars. The webinar recordings and presentation slides can be accessed here: http://ftp.adigo.com/clients/icann/20150318_AfricanWebinar_EN.zip http://ftp.adigo.com/clients/icann/20150318_AfricanWebinar_FR.zip The webinar agenda: 1.
