Re: [kictanet] What is the Kenyan position on global Internet governance?
And true the ITU could be an old dog but doesnt bark loud. Through the kenya IGF this year, if only it becomes a decision making platfoam then kenya can be heard properly and play in the proper league. What if the IGF had decision making capabilities? ------------------------------ On Thu, May 1, 2014 12:46 PM PDT meshack emakunat wrote:

Hello. In my view the internet should be free but this does not imply non regulation. it could be true that ICANN owns the internet in the sense that it has influence and decision making capabilities. When viewing it from the aspect that the internet should be free then i think its only when such qualities are 'civil' and can be affected by social, cultural and economic forces rather than political. To be more direct to the point, all i mean is the internet should never be a resource that is under any government's management. We should let the internet take on a laissez faire nature if the internet really is a factor for positive development.

Well the IGF has worked well, yet it was never meant to be a decision making platform, we need to refocus and work together as a nation government, civil society, private sector and academia, it takes great leadership to facilitate this.
