PUBLIC PARTIICIPATION REQUEST _ KeNIC WHOIS policy & Data and Information sharing policy
Dear Listers, We trust you are doing well. This is a public participation request on the updated KeNIC WHOIS policy and Information sharing policy which is due for adoption. Being a critical data custodian and processor, we would like to ensure that the data we have is correct, safe and secure. Your input is highly appreciated. Find the documents here https://bit.ly/3ByatZz. Thank you. __ ___ _ ___ ___ _ ___ __ _ ___ __ _ _ Warm Regards.

Dear Team Kenic It's great that you are seeking public participation. Here's some unsolicited and well-intentioned advice:- Too often public participation in this country is a *tick the box* exercise. Can we structure the response better? Beyond an email address? Here's KICTANet's report on public participation <https://www.kictanet.or.ke/kictanet-unveils-report-on-assessment-of-public-participation-in-recent-ict-policy-making-processes-in-kenya/>. Some good pointers there on what to do and not to do. As a minimum provide us with a framework and roadmap of how the Public Participation Process will flow, who will manage it, and feedback will be provided. Short of this it becomes an academic exercise without transparency and hence lacking in accountability. Bottom Line Public participation in the ICT policy process must be open, accessible, diverse, collaborative, evidence-based, and transparent. Also, there is a need to have a holistic, multi-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder mechanism for public participation.
