Afternoon Michael, I'm glad we have supporters. What's your .KE? To your questions: 1. DNSSEC rolled out yet? Nope. Resolving team capacity and should roll out in the next Quarter. Abdalla - CEO can comment on exact modalities for this 2. Frequent Kenic outages - April 2015 still fresh in memory, and erodes confidence in technical capacity. Moved servers to EADC. We do listen..You're welcome 3. "Political stability" around the board of Kenic seems lacking. What Board Stability? Have you met us?- Kris Senanu(Chair), Kariba Moko(.KE Ambassador), Evans Kahuthu(Vice Chair), Rosemary Momanyi(Versatile Marketing mind), Prof Meoli Kashoda (Voice of Wisdom), Enid Otieno(Audit)...The dream team is here! Let's make it 1 Million! List, I shared a draft working plan on our bigger agenda(Attached). Any luck on a think-tank reaction to our vision? We are really keen to engage and grow the .KE Brand in numbers and perception Regards Kariba - DRAKE -----Original Message----- From: kictanet [mailto:kictanet-bounces+info=drake.or.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of kictanet-request@lists.kictanet.or.ke Sent: Friday, April 15, 2016 12:41 PM To: DRAKE (Domain Registrars Association of Kenya) Subject: kictanet Digest, Vol 107, Issue 33 Send kictanet mailing list submissions to kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to kictanet-request@lists.kictanet.or.ke You can reach the person managing the list at kictanet-owner@lists.kictanet.or.ke When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of kictanet digest..."

Hi Kariba & List,
Personally I am a fan of .ke domains - that said there are room for improvement:
1. DNSSEC rolled out yet ?
2. Frequent Kenic outages - April 2015 still fresh in memory, and erodes confidence in technical capacity.
3. "Political stability" around the board of Kenic seems lacking.
.. Mike

Thanks Waudo, To your question. How do I see .ke being impacted by the new gTLDs? The answer is purely on value. Right now the user is key because there's variety. We asked a while back. Why does the Kenyan developer prefer .com .tech .consultant .insertnewTLD over .KE Here are some responses and how we've dealt with them 1. Price - Implemented RRP at 1,000 bob which all DRAKE members have implemented 2. Purchase procedure - Automation deployed. Current/ New registrars benefit from support by the DRAKE technical team that assists at KENIC should the need arise 3. Security - your .KE will NOT be taken down! (Terms and XXX apply). And yes before you quote www.isuhuruinkenya.co.ke I wish to say that was purely a registrar issue and we resolved the same. Actually as a .KE owner if you don't have dashboard access to your domain do let us know. 4. Market - #weareke campaign which launched in 2015 goes bigger and better this year. Focussing on Awareness, Demystification and conversion.
A product is only as good as its need and we hope that all this steps will boost the tech communities trust in their own brand and will help us build it. We've ridden on a nationalistic approach and that's gotten us to 56,000. We hope based on continuous value addition we'll get to 1,000,000 1,000,000 means: - 10,000 Jobs - GDP relevance - Bottom tier empowerment
Regards
Kariba
