Interesting conversation. I will revisit. On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 3:04 PM, Ali Hussein via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

This discourse is very healthy and I’m glad we are having it. In any market where there is a robust Domain Aftermarket the ccTLD invariably does well. Let’s support a KeNIC in this endeavor.
By the way, DRAKE (Domain Registrars Association of Kenya) is very silent in this conversation. Do they have a position on this? I believe they are a key stakeholder.

Well put Ali. Registering nike.co.ke or Coca-Cola.co.ke is cyber squatting, and that has been handled well by KENIC's by laws. On the other hand, ni.ke is not cyber squatting.
Brian, Ali, Abdala et-al, DNS speaking, I don't see how we can sell the A record of co.ke while the eventual owner will not have control over the globaly known canonical name www. A lot of traffic would be lost between the two different entities. The only solution would be for them to federate among each other. That is an interesting problem.
@collins, No, KENIC did not sell www. KENIC is not involved in selling domains, (apart from the auction :-) ). Domains are owned on first come basis. If you register areba.co.ke, KENIC will not even notice. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:-) They will not even notice the money that comes in? :-)
