Re: [kictanet] 3 Media houses protest Majanja's Digital Migration Ruling

It would be interesting to watch if the world will stop spinning because 3 (out of how many?) channels are briefly off-air as they are forced by the law to put their media houses in order? ------------------------------ On Mon, Dec 23, 2013 9:01 PM MSK Grace Githaiga wrote: >NTV Kenya‪#‎DigitalMigration‬: The Big Switch-offIn the High Court sitting in Nairobi Monday, Justice David Majanja dismissed a petition by three media houses - the Standard Group, Nation Media Group and Royal Media- to have the digital migration postponed until certain critical issues spelt out in the petition are resolved. He dismissed the case and as a consequence digital migration takes effect immediately.In compliance with that judgement, we (the Media Owners' Association) are left with no option but to go off-air. We have instructed our lawyers to appeal against the High Court decision in the Court of Appeal. At the same time, we are pursuing other avenues to resolve the issue so that you can continue watching your favourite television station. We hope to be back on air as soon as possible.

As usual for DCA, it has been a year of intense activity to ensure that our promise to Africa stands - that "we shall deliver .africa registry to the continent, sooner than expected". DCA Trust has a long-standing tradition of informing its African and global constituency on matters affecting the global Internet Governance, ICANN and related African affairs. Our regular Newsletters and Social media Campaigns sites provide us the conduit to keep all informed and more importantly, get feedbak on our initiatives. Before reviewing the major highlights of what DCA Trust accomplished during the year, I would like to make an extended commentary on the most important global issue of 2013. * *From Wikileaks of 2012 to Edward Snowden's NSA Leaks of 2013: * *Implications for Global Internet Governance* *2012 will always be remembered as the Year of Wikileaks. Similarly, 2013 shall also be remembered as the year that Edward Snowden, a computer security specialist and former CIA employee and National Security Agency contractor, leaked classified information regarding the NSA global surveillance programs.* *Whilst Wikileaks was about US diplomatic cables, the Edward Snowden disclosure of classified NSA information to private media organizations such as the UK Guardian newspaper has had graver implications for global Internet privacy. Unfortunately, the NSA leak presented the United States of America as a country that practically spies on everybody in a most indiscriminate manner, including its own allies. It was revealed that the President of Brazil, Ms. Dilma Rouseff had been spied upon by the USA; a dangerous revelation that compelled her to cancel a planned official visit to the United States of America. The German Chancellor, Dr. Angela Merkel also complained that her mobile phone had been hacked into, and the 'usual suspect' had been listening into all her conversations. The German Government was indignant and complained directly to the US Government. The EU also sought clarifications from the United States. Most foreign leaders demanded that US spying must stop after it was revealed by the Guardian that 35 world leaders had been spied upon after their telephone communications were tapped. * *Brazil had to take the matter to the United Nations General Assembly and collaborated with Germany in October to draft a resolution on the US spying allegations that would guarantee the privacy of electronic communications. The consensus resolution on *"The right to privacy in the digital age" *was adapted on 19th December 2013. It calls on UN Member States to **"review their procedures, practices and legislation on the surveillance of communications, their interception and collection of personal data, including mass surveillance, with a view to upholding the right to privacy by ensuring the full and effective implementation of all relevant obligations under international human rights law".* This seems to be the only coordinated reaction by the international community to the US global spying and surveillance activities. *But the revelation is that the US Federal Government has expanded its global electronic surveillance program and is said to have been collecting diverse types of information including email, chat, video-conferencing, file transfers, etc. supplied by Internet companies such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, YouTube, etc, although all of them denying it, unless under a court order. These companies are often forced to comply since it is lawful under US laws for them to cooperate with National Intelligence Agencies. The US-based Internet and Telecoms companies (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) ordinarily cannot refuse to provide data upon the request of US national security agencies against the backdrop that increased surveillance activities by US National Security operatives are justified by heightened global counter-terrorism efforts that are aimed at discovering and disrupting terrorist threats.* *Thus, anything that is happening on the Internet, especially on the Social Media space is no longer private. These recent revelations have clearly shown that Internet user privacy has been significantly undermined and public confidence and trust on the Internet as a communications platform has been considerably eroded.* *It is expected that these issues would remain topical throughout 2014 and beyond, as the future of Global Internet Governance is debated. *The voices of those calling for a paradigm shift in the architecture of Global Internet Governance towards one that de-emphasizes the centrality of U.S.-based institutions will no doubt become more strident. The NSA leaks and the allegations of widespread international spying activities by the United States of America, including access to millions of data records obtained from Internet and telephone companies, have seriously undercut US moral authority as the custodian of Internet privacy, civil liberties and human rights. The countries that have been clamoring for a new internet Governance model that is led by the UN would try to buttress their case by citing US global Internet surveillance program and global spying activities. *The independent panel that was setup by the US Administration to review the surveillance programs recommended that some restrictions should be placed on NSA spying activities. During 2014, the global community will be closely monitoring the commencement of implementation of policy reforms regarding the US surveillance programs by the NSA.* *DCA's Year in Review* * DCA Trust had another year of continuous activity and engagement with matters and event concerning the new gTLD program and the DNS industry generally * *In March 2013, DCA Registry Services and its UK Technical Partner CentralNic participated in the African Multi-stakeholder Internet Governance meeting held at the UNECA Conference center in Addis Ababa, Ethioipia from 6-8 Mrach 2013*. DCA Trust participated at the event along* other African organizations like **African IGF, AfriNIC, AFTLD, ISOC Africa, and the ATU and ITU*. The delegation noted the urgent need for the improvement of services to make the market viable and profitable and these findings strengthen its promise to work with the ccTLD's. * DotConnectAfrica then attended and contributed to the "Innovation Africa Digital Summit", with the theme: "National Broadband Strategies and Agendas: Acceleration and Alignment", which was also held in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. DCA got the opportunity to clarify the .africa bid to the audience, stating that DotAfrica as an Internet new gTLD resource rightly belongs to ICANN, and that the entire new gTLD program is governed by ICANN under a globally approved process, and the AUC has no authorization to delegate DotAfrica to a registry operator outside the ICANN's process. DCA explained that Uniforum in its application submitted to ICANN has already given away the legal rights to the .africa registry databases and all intellectual property to the AU, which explains why Uniforum was calling it an AU initiative, the same view that was held by the NEPAD representative who was also a panelist at the forum. DCA Trust has always maintained that all the rights to the new DotAfrica gTLD including the registry databases, rightfully belongs to ICANN according to the stipulations of the new gTLD Program and the associated new gTLD Registry Services Agreement, and that the African Union and UniForum cannot act outside these specifications that have been legally codified and approve. * *Also in March, The Republic of Kenya saw the peaceful election of** His Excellency, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and His Deputy, H.E. Mr. William Ruto.** DotConnectAfrica Trust (DCA Trust), and its affiliate DCA Registry Services (Kenya) Ltd**. was pleased to extend very warm congratulations to the president and country of Kenya.* *The following months, in a candid discourse, **The Reporter Daily **a highly influential an**d respected source of reliable news to Ethiopians**, Africans and globally through its online readership **laid out the struggle of DotConnectAfrica and its six year efforts in initiating the .africa gTLD, the first African run gTLD registry business for Africa*. *In April, the ICANN-46 International gathering that took place in Beijing, China, DCA participated and learned its .africa application received an objection advice from ICANN's Government Advisory Committee (GAC), in the Beijing GAC Advice, to which DotConnectAfrica Trust responded. The GAC Objection Advice against DCA's .Africa application was later accepted by the ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC); a decision that DCA Trust refused to accept because the NGPC failed to perform all required procedures when considering GAC Advice related to Objections such as consultations with independent experts as stipulated in Section 3.1 of the Applicants Guidebook. DCA Trust has therefore challenged the ICANN NGPC decision to accept the GAC Objection Advice, and hopes that this will be resolved during 2014.* *To improve our skills in the ever changing ICT spectrum DCA not only train but also participate in training. DotConnectAfrica Registry Services (Kenya) **in the month of June participated in a rigorous two-day training programme on DNSSEC that was conducted at the AFRALTI Nairobi**.* *In July, **the DotConnectAfrica team participated in the ICANN-47 International Meeting in Durban, South Africa. DCA's team were panelist to the Second Africa Domain Name System (DNS) Forum held as a precursor to the ICANN meeting and also raised question to the ICANN Board and GAC on .africa regarding GAC's treatment of its application. * *The world could be such a better place if we did not have tragedies, Kenya had terror visited on its citizens in October. **DotConnectAfrica Registry services Kenya, **showed solidarity with the people of Kenya during this difficult period and sent o**ur heartfelt condolences and mourned with the victims.* * Cooperation with the African Union has never been new to DotConnectAfrica, despite the contentious issues of the recent .Africa TLD. DotConnectAfrica as an African organization has always been interested with the work of the African Union, as a Pan African organization and its objective to serve Africa and its people better. DCA Trust has engaged with the AU at the various levels this year. First of all, DCA Trust has written to the newly elected AU leaders on matters of .africa and the controversy and issues surrounding it has requested a positive resolution of the .africa issue directly with the AU commission. Being one engaged in multi-stakeholder process, DCA Trust has participated and provided our Comments to the very important document Draft African Union Convention on the Establishment of A Credible Legal Framework For Cyber Security. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HdCFpC0qdUslL0W1mv6TZNYbt-5Rle4loe55F7LZlir5…> DCA Trust has also contributed to "The African union Vision 2063" an the ambitious future roadmap whose vision for Africa AU says is that of "An Integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena". * *In November, DotConnectAfrica Registry Services actively participated in ICANN and IGF activities. Our dedicated delegates were among more than 1,700 people from around the world that attended the just concludes ICANN-48 International Meeting that took place in Buenos Aires Argentina from November 17, 2013 to November 21, 2013. At the Afralo meeting, DCA reinforced to ICANN that its work is still marginilized** at ICANN. *DCA has been an active participant at ICANN since 2005, and has championed various ICANN and Africa initiatives, including IDNs, promoting new gTLDs and multi-stakeholder model, Internet Governance issues, and corporate sponsorship of ICANN events. We are an applicant for the .africa new gTLD. However, says DCA, our contributions to the ICANN Process and Africa have been immense, but our knowledge and expertise are yet to be utilized by the current ICANN operatives. Despite the issues at the forum regarding lack of African participation, the process itself has isolated those who actively participate like DCA. *In December 2013, the world came together to mourn, honor and celebrate Africa's Hero and Giant Iconic Leader Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. DotConnectAfrica Trust took the opportunity to honor and celebrate the Giant Iconic Leader of Africa, calling him: Courageous, Selfless and Noble. We quoted him in our message. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HdCFpC0qdUslL0W1mv6TZNYbt-5Rle4loe55F7LZlir5…>* *"I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. " * *--Nelson Mandela * *With such a high note from one of the greatest Legends, we ask that you continue to pray for DCA, DotAfrica and Africa during this Holiday Season period and beyond.* *2013 has been a great and busy year for Yes2dotAfrica campaign but thanks to your support it has been worth the while. We did apply for the .africa gTLD in 2012 as promised in our campaigns. We are still going through the rigorous ICANN processes to ensure that we deliver our promise come 2014.* * On behalf of DCA and myself, I wish you peace, joy and Goodwill this Holiday Season * *for Africa and the world!.* *See you all in 2014!* *Happy Holidays & Happy New Year* *Sophia Bekele* *Founder/Executive Director* *DotConnectAfrica* *In this Issue* * Seasons Greetings <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HdCFpC0qdUslL0W1mv6TZNYbt-5Rle4loe55F7LZlir5…> (Message from Executive Director) <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HdCFpC0qdUslL0W1mv6TZNYbt-5Rle4loe55F7LZlir5…> DotConnectAfrica Participates in ICANN-48 Buenos Aires, Argentina * *DotConnectAfrica Attends Transform Africa Heads of State Summit 2013-* *contributes to New SmartAfrica Manifesto * *DotConnectAfrica Updated its gTLD Application & Current Engagement with the U.S. Congress**DotConnectAfrica Comments on the Draft African Union Convention on the Establishment of Credible Legal Framework For Cyber Security In Africa October 2013. * *DotConnectAfrica contributes to * *Second DNS Forum at ICANN International meeting in Durban - also raises questions on .africa * * DotConnectAfrica Updated Status of its gTLD Application & Current Engagement with ICANN **DotConnectAfrica Registry Services Participates in ICANN DNSSEC training at AFRALTI Nairobi* * DotConnectAfrica * * Participates at the ICANN 46 International Meeting in Beijing, China - Receives a GAC Objection Advise * *DotConnectAfrica Update: Status of our gTLD Application & Current Engagements with the U.S.Congress* * DCA Clarifies its bid at the Innovation Africa Digital Summit, Addis Ababa Ethiopia * * The IBCA, an Initiative of DCA called for inclusion of African Businesses at ICANN Africa Strategy meeting in Addis Ababa DCA Registry Services makes its voice heard at the ICANN Africa Strategy meeting in Addis Ababa DotConnectAfrica- Personalities of the year * * DotConnectAfrica Mourns with Kenya on Westgate attack Bloomberg TV: Sophia Bekele featured as "African Women to Watch" SEE YOU IN 201 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HdCFpC0qdUslL0W1mv6TZNYbt-5Rle4loe55F7LZlir5…>4 * *DCA Personality of the Year* *Nelson Mandela 1918- 2013* A Leader Extraordinary!

Fwd: [Internet Policy] Welcome New Internet Society CEO, Kathryn C. Brown
by Barrack Otieno 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Bob Hinden" <bob.hinden(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 19, 2013 10:00 PM Subject: [Internet Policy] Welcome New Internet Society CEO, Kathryn C. Brown To: <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> Cc: On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am very pleased to announce that we have chosen Kathy Brown as the next Chief Executive Officer of the Internet Society. The ISOC Board conducted a very thorough search over 10 months to find the best candidate to lead the Internet Society. Through our search process, we identified and met with talented people from around the globe representing leaders from our broad Internet community and across a large number of industries. The Internet is facing many new challenges ranging from the NSA pervasive surveillance, how the governance of the Internet should be structured, and if the current open Internet model is sustainable. The Board looked for a person who can lead the Internet Society to meet these challenges and decided that Kathy Brown is the person to do that. She is a proven leader with in-depth knowledge of global Internet governance policy; well acquainted with the community, commercial, technical, government, and non-government organizations that are stakeholders in the debate around the future of the Internet; and a strong manager. She has all of the qualities we were looking for in the next CEO of the Internet Society. Kathy joins the Internet Society from global strategy firm Albright Stonebridge Group, where she was a senior advisor. For more than a decade prior, Kathy was Senior Vice President for Policy Development and Corporate Responsibility at Verizon. In that role, she helped Verizon identify and navigate emerging digital issues and led its global corporate responsibility initiatives, overseeing an investment of more than $60 million a year in programs and grants that helped support Internet development. In 2010 she partnered with ISOC to launch a highly successful forum on the Internet and higher education in East Africa. In addition, she served on Verizon's corporate councils for the development of the company's online privacy and content policies and promoted Verizon's Human Rights Statement and Supplier Code of Conduct. In her policy role at Verizon, she led the company's international public policy engagement through a period of dynamic change. She represented the company in the successful adoption by the OECD of principles for Internet policy making and was a member of the U.S. delegation to the ITU World Conference on International Telecommunications treaty negotiations. Kathy joined Verizon from Washington D.C. law firm Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, where she was a partner specializing in legal and regulatory communications policy. Earlier in her career, Kathy served in U.S. President Clinton’s Administration where she was deeply involved in policy development that was instrumental to the deployment and adoption of the global Internet. She served as Head of the Office of Policy and Development at the National Telecommunications Information Administration and then as Chief of Staff to Federal Communications Commission Chairman William E. Kennard. At the FCC, she managed the staff supporting Chairman Kennard's historic decision to keep the Internet unregulated, to fund the E-rate, and to increase radio spectrum availability to fuel wireless technology innovation. Before moving to Washington D.C., Kathy held senior roles for 15 years in government service in New York. Kathy will start on January 1 and be based in the Internet Society’s Reston office. In February 2013, Internet Society CEO Lynn St. Amour announced her decision to step down at the end of her contract. Since joining the Internet Society in 1998 and at the helm since 2001, Lynn has worked tirelessly and passionately to establish the Internet Society as an internationally respected expert on Internet governance, and technical, development, and policy issues. She has made ISOC what it is today. The Board and I greatly appreciate all her hard work and wish her the very best in her future endeavors. Lynn will continue to work with Kathy through the end of January to ensure a smooth transition.

The self correcting nature of the American system? Judge rules against NSA tapping program. Snowden vindicated?

CCK revises signal distribution fees downwards
by Wambua, Christopher 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Listers, The Commission yesterday revised the digital Broadcast signal distribution fees with a view to facilitating a smooth transition to digital TV broadcasting in Kenya. Below is the press release issued yesterday on the same for your information: [P R E S S R E L E A S E][cid:image007.jpg@01CEFB0D.36919420] 16th December 2013 CCK reviews digital broadcast signal distribution charges downwards The Communications Commission of Kenya has reviewed downwards tariffs for digital signal distribution in a move geared towards facilitating a smooth migration from analogue to digital television broadcasting in the country. According to Determination No. 1 of 2013 on Cost-Based Terrestrial Digital Broadcast Signal Distribution Tariff dated 16th December 2013, Digital Signal Distributors shall charge broadcasters (also known as Content Service Providers) at KES. 125,990 per Megabit for Nairobi and KES.93,202.75 per Megabit for other sites in Kenya. The new tariffs take effect from today. Before the review, the Pan-Africa Network Group (PANG) had proposed to charge broadcasters a monthly signal distribution fee of KES 1,135,312.50 per channel in Nairobi. Kenya Broadcasting Corporation-owned SIGNET on the other hand had proposed to charge KES 248,141 per mega bit (Mbit) for signal distribution services within Nairobi. For other sites in Kenya, SIGNET had proposed to charge a uniform signal distribution fee of KES248,141.45 per mega bit, while PANG had proposed to charge a flat monthly fee of KES.378,437.50 for signal distribution services in Mombasa, Kisumu, Nyeri, Eldoret, Kakamega, Kisii and Meru. For Malindi, Webuye, Garissa, Narok, Kericho, Isiolo, Kitale, Bungoma, Embu, Voi and other regions, PANG had proposed to charge broadcasters a flat monthly fee of KES.126,145.83. In the determination, CCK further requires the two Digital Signal Distributors - Pan African Network Group (PANG) and Signet, to publish a Reference Offer three months from today in order to ensure that there is access, transparency and non-discrimination on the terrestrial signal distribution platform. According to the determination, digital signal distributors are also expected to prepare separate accounts for each commercial subsidiary including the appropriate allocation of central overheads within six months from today. In arriving at the afore-cited tariffs, CCK adopted a consultative approach where the signal distributors were involved.

Is the Balkanisation of the Internet coming to pass? Thanks to the #SnowdenAffair?
by Ali Hussein 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Listers The Snowden revelations have blurred a crucial boundary between the U.S. private sector and its government, dealing a heavy blow to one of the fundamental precincts of Internet Governance. There remains a fundamental question to which we however have no clear answer: if the U.S. gives up its leadership of governing and operating key parts of the Internet, what would take its place? Is there an equivalent to some macro governance by multilateral agencies akin to the Security Council/the G-20/the United Nations combined with each country managing the micro governance through its own “visa” rules for crossing its borders? As netizens we must all contribute to ensuring a new paradigm for Internet Governance because Balkanization is not the answer. One of the answers I believe is to strengthen the Global Multi-Stakeholder framework because one thing is clear: if we leave it to the Governments of the World one of the most fundamental principles of the Internet - border less interactions - will be destroyed within a forepaw short years. http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2013/12/02/the-end-of-the-world-wid…!
