Hi Sidney, Many thanks, i know your intention was good but i just wanted to highlight the need to safeguard personal data even as we dig deep to ascertain issues. I consider this a healthy debate and we are learning from each other. Unfortunately someone may misuse the data which was being used for a good purpose.

Barrack, While I understand and appreciate your concerns that allegations had to be addressed and for me I find that asking questions through here often leads to prompt responses rather than reaching out to the organisations concerned. We discuss allegations on here all the time.
As for the personal data, that might have been a misstep on my part but I think they were necessary to prove the overall point of the allegations, as Harry's question below proves. No one asked how I got hold of the document but I assure you that it had been circulating in various circles so it was already in the public domain. Perhaps the question should be why KENICs systems are so vulnerable to such leaks.

Dear Colleagues,
Many thanks Abdalla for the detailed response to the issues raised. On a separate note i find it interesting that someone is circulating a document with personal data and using it as a dossier and we don't have a problem forwading the same even though it is full of allegations. I think this is very wrong and should be stopped. Whenever we have genuine concerns, we should be civil enough to respect personal data in cases where it is included in the dossiers, let us not forget that some of the data may belong to customers across the border.
I am also hopeful that we will get a similar detailed response on the downtime affecting e-citizen.
Best Regards

Dear Sidney,
I have read your email.
I am preparing a detailed response to the allegations you have raised.
As Barrack has stated, it seems you have been misinformed on how the process conducted.
Thank you.
Regards,
Abdalla

Hi Sidney,
There is a lot of misinformation and disinformation regarding this
issue. I have been involved in such processes locally and across the border and most often this is the outcome of domain auction processes especially where premium domains are concerned. As is the case in the domain name industry, software is used to conduct auctions once the necessary policies have been put in place. Auctions such as these ellicit global interest including mischievous characters who are a handfull to deal with from a policy and technical perspective. Even the most advanced and technically equipped companies around the world are caught flatfooted from time to time.
I would suggest that we debate the issue based on facts and not
insinuations. Let us also be wary of sour grapes.
Best Regards
