ICANN Board rejects sale of .org and Public Interest Registry (PIR) to a private entity
by Mwendwa Kivuva 12 May '20

12 May '20

The ICANN Board made the decision to reject the proposed change of control and entity conversion request that Public Interest Registry (PIR) submitted to ICANN. After completing extensive due diligence, the ICANN Board finds that withholding consent of the transfer of PIR from the Internet Society (ISOC) to Ethos Capital is reasonable, and the right thing to do. ICANN's role is to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems. We are dedicated to making the right decision, knowing that whatever we decide will be well received by some, and not by others. It is our responsibility to weigh all factors from an ICANN Bylaws and policies perspective, including considering the global public interest. We have done this diligently, ensuring as much transparency as possible and welcoming input from stakeholders throughout. https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann-board-withholds-consent-for-a-change-…

We have appealed the high court decision on our cyber crimes case
by Jane Muthoni 08 May '20

08 May '20

Hello, BAKE has finally filed our appeal in the Court of Appeal to challenge the judgement made by the High Court in our case against the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act 2018. We had filed a notice of appeal on 21st February 2020 but we were not able to file our case due to the COVID-19 crisis. We have however been able to file our case remotely after the Judiciary instituted new filing rules in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Our case challenging the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act 2018 was dismissed by High Court Judge Mr. Justice James A. Makau on 20th February 2020. Justice Makau found that the 26 sections of the Cybercrimes Law that we had contested were constitutional, and therefore dismissed the whole case entirely. https://www.blog.bake.co.ke/2020/05/07/we-have-appealed-the-high-court-deci…
