It is coming out quite clearly that the very nature of the Public Private Partnership (multistakeholderism) that KENIC use is now at risk with the CCK taking over literally. I don't see a very big line between the Ministry of communications and CCK, they are all cut from the same cloth. If the ministry cannot influence decision with it's current numbers at the board, them it seems the latest move is a way of taking total control of Kenic, with capacity to veto decisions and dictate its stand. The community should debate and come up with a clear road-map. Since KENIC is a multistakeholder organisation, using PPP model, to change its status, you must get approval from the community. Its indeed commendable that the boards position is inline with the community's aspiration, as noted in the 56th Kenic Board meeting as it states: "KENIC’s structure is based on multi stakeholder partnership (MSP) model, touted  for  Internet  governance  worldwide.  ICANN  and  most  domain registries have adopted this approach. Licensing and regulation of KENIC by the Commission which is one of its stakeholders and board members would be seen as distorting this model framework by elevating government over the other stakeholders in management of these Internet resources"

There has been talk that the AGM slotted for 24th August (date according to Business Daily article) is planned to be closed, to lock out the community. We must first ensure that the AGM us open to all and not closed. Making the AGM locked means there are people who fear reprisals form the community. Let's not beat around the bush, KENIC belongs to all of us.

We have been talking about corporate governance for a while. Kenic takes Ksh 12Million from its account and invests it in a fixed bond in Amana Asset Management  Company . Reminds me of African countries saving their foreigh exchange reserves in offshore accounts then getting the same money pumped back into the economy as loans. Building the KeNIC brand would be futile with such practices. What does the community think?
