Interesting question Adam, i think this is something that could be in the pipeline hence the reason for the workshop, since i have been equally invited i hope to raise the same questions during the forum. Best Regards On 6/10/13, Adam Nelson <adam@varud.com> wrote:

All As a former director of KeNIC I know that this was planned and budgeted for in 2011-12. I think the challenges KeNIC may have faced over the last few months may have precipitated the non-implementation of this. Maybe its now in the works for this year...

KeNIC also hosted one of these ~1.5 years ago, with NSRC and ICANN trainers. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there." Jon Postel

Thanks Barrack for the information. Maybe we should add that the DNSSEC workshop at KENIC is part of the DNSSEC roadshow which has been launched by ICANN within the framework of the Africa strategy (Africanncommunity.org). Alain Aina is the one leading the workshop and the roadshow which encompasses 8 African countries including Kenya for this first phase..

Pierre, Since we're on this thread is there any update on the launch of the .africa TLD? Also, is there any information on which regulatory authorities will have control of the TLD sufficient to seize a .africa domain name? I would love to use .afirica but forward thinking people need to know how easy it will be for regulators (some organ within the African Union I guess?) to take domains away before putting much faith in them.

Hi Adam, http://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/79903-africa-domain-battle-win-for-sa... is the latest news I have seen. That story interprets the document at: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/new-gtld-resolution-annex-1-0... which says: The NGPC accepts this advice. The AGB provides that if "GAC advises ICANN that it is the consensus of the GAC that a particular application should not proceed. This will create a strong presumption for the ICANN Board that the application should not be approved." (AGB § 3.1) The NGPC directs staff that pursuant to the GAC advice and Section 3.1 of the Applicant Guidebook, Application number 1-1165-42560 for .africa will not be approved. In accordance with the AGB the applicant may withdraw (pursuant to AGB § 1.5.1) or seek relief according to ICANN's accountability mechanisms (see ICANN Bylaws, Articles IV and V) subject to the appropriate standing and procedural requirements. apologies for formatting...copied from a pdf. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.

Hi Adam, I do not have a decisive answer to your query; McTim provides some hints. One can only refer to the resolution of the NGPC for the time being.. Pierre On Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 1:37 PM, McTim <dogwallah@gmail.com> wrote:
