Thanks for the update Kariba. Indeed I remember well Dec 31, 1999 well when I went to hide in a mud hut overnight after we had been convinced that everything, including multi-story buildings, was going to collapse! I remember there was a national emergency response centre at Hilton Hotel to coordinate anticipated things like the bursting of Masinga dam, lifts getting stuck and traffic lights going haywire.
 
Wishing you well on the .ke journey. How do you see .ke being impacted by the new gTLDs?

Achieving the Kshs. 30 Billion Ecosystem

Hallo and welcome to the Internet of things! The year is 1999 and the world is going to end!..or so it seemed. A lot has changed since 1999 and so has our agenda as the Domain Registrars Association of Kenya (DRAKE). We aim to grow the .KE ecosystem through the multi-stakeholder framework legally known as KENIC.

In 2017, The National Broadband strategy will lapse and with our hardwork 1,000,000 + domains should have been registered. DRAKE has been formulating the .KE Ecosytem and building a roadmap towards achieving a Kshs. 30Billion Ecosystem through value addition from the bottom up. In 2014, we kicked off the .KE automation drive that saw all our members adopt a click and pay approach to domain purchases. In 2015, through KENIC we saw the launch of #weareke a national brand awareness campaign.

What Next?
A million domains is no small feat,it needs a collective approach. We've broken down our engagement segments as below:

  1. Fund - Partner with DRAKE
  2. Community - Engage with DRAKE
  3. Government - Rollout with DRAKE
  4. Technology - Grow with DRAKE

DRAKE's relevance to date would not be possible without our heroes and as such we appreciate the continuous support of:

  1. Cabinet Secretary - Joe Mucheru, Permanent Secretaries - Victor Kyalo & Sammy Itemere, Our Ambassadors at Government.
  2. Michael Katundu - An unsung hero of ICT in Kenya and a key DRAKE champion.
  3. Joe Sevilla - Strathmore University's IBiz Hub is not only The Home of the DRAKE but also our testbed for startup inclusion in the .KE Ecosystem.
For more on our evolving agenda, talk to us and let's Build .KE Together!
