KeNIC Opens up 2nd Level Domains
Dear all KeNIC has just announced the opening up of the .ke 2nd level domains. What does this really mean? Simply put for example is that your domain can now be www.wanjiku.ke instead of www.wanjiku.co.ke. This is huge and the Registrar and user community have been agitating for this for many years. Kudos to the KeNIC team led by Abdalla Omari and the Board. This was way overdue. So from a commercial perspective these are interesting times:- fa.ke anyone? :-) Or how about ca.ke; Ni.ke, Co.ke? ma.ke? #LetTheGamesBegin!

Ali, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This second level domain is warmly welcomed. As a .ke champion, this is indeed exciting. Asante Abdalla and team.

This sounds good. The challenge will be protecting the rights of those already registered in the 3rd level, to avoid them having another expense and effort making new, defensive registrations. W. On Thu, Jun 29, 2017, at 11:23 AM, Ali Hussein via kictanet wrote:

Waudo Good point. Most companies will need to do this anyway as they do with other ccTLDs and gTLDs. It's called protecting ones brand.. Maybe KeNIC can look at substantial discounts for personalized/vanity domains?

Hi Ali and Waudo, I agree, in the best interest of supporting the protection of Intellectual Property (IP) incentives should be given. Kind regards, Rosemary Koech-Kimwatu On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 11:42 AM, Admin CampusCiti via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
