The debate on revitalising KENIC will seek to tackle the following :
1. Governance Issues 2. Public /Stakeholder Engagements 3. Operational Issues
Today Day1, we will seek to address the Governance issues.
There is no restriction to debate the other two issues, or any other issue you feel is important, although we will strive to answer the other two issues tomorrow.
How is the board currently constituted? KENIC was licensed by CA in 2015 to manage the .ke namespace following gazzettement of new Information and Communication Regulations. Currently. The KENIC board comprises members from Kenya Education Network (KENET), Domain Registrars Association of Kenya (DRAKE), ICT Authority (ICTA), and Technology Service Providers of Kenya (TESPOK). There are associate directors comprising the immediate past Chairman of the board, and some three other organisations (Google, KO Associates, and ICEA Lion). More clarification on the current board is needed since their website is blank on this. The KENIC page on the board was last updated in 2014 http://kenic.or.ke/index.php/en/home/kenic-board-management
Questions that come to mind at this point are a) Is a review of the governance structure at KENIC due? How would that structure look like? b) Which Organisations should nominate Directors? Which stakeholder groups should be involved? c) What are the term limits for Directors? d) How should the Chairperson of the board be selected?
Additional questions are welcomed, as we get suggestions from the wider community on the best way to manage our .ke registry.
