Eric 1. How is Nairobi Hospital, Uchumi, Daily Nation, Taifa Leo, Kenya Commercial Bank Government names? Am I missing something? 2. Kudos to whoever is behind this that we are recognizing our digital assets. It's gratifying to see the Government cognizant of the fact that the land grab has moved online.. 3. Lets also ensure we don't go overboard in grabbing names that then sit somewhere in a government digital shelf and not do anything about it..I suspect for example that Kalenjin.africa is an afterthought otherwise someone may say why not kikuyu.africa? Or Orma.africa or how about Mazrui.africa? Just saying...:) Well done Eric for the effort. Ali Hussein +254 0770 906375 / 0713 601113 "I fear the day technology will surpass human interaction.

*Dear KICTANet,*
*Re: Launch of the Dot Africa Government Reserved Names List (RNL) Policy*
The Dot Africa project has now reached a stage where African Governments are being offered an opportunity to reserve domain names that are of National significance before the dot Africa Top Level Domain is opened to general domain name registrations. Respective Governments will be required to redeem the reserved names within the timelines set in the RNL policy using the prescribed systems and tools that have been developed to facilitate efficient submission and redemption of reserved names.
The African Union (AU) through the Uniform SA (ZA Central Registry) which is the appointed registry for dot Africa has developed several policy documents, among them the Reserve Name List (RNL) policy that will be used to govern the process of reserving government names. The RNL policy, guidelines and portal are available at the following links (URLs):
1.
Reserve Name List Policy: www.africainonespace.org/rnlpolicy 2.
Reserve Name List Guidelines: http://africainonespace.org/rnlguide 3.
Reserve Name List Portal: http://africainonespace.org/rnl
The RNL policy provides for reservation of the following categories:
1.
Geographic names - Maximum of 100 names 2.
Religious Cultural and Linguistic - Maximum of 100 names 3.
Economic and public Interest Names - Maximum of 100 names 4.
Offensive Names - Maximum 25 names
Kenya’s representative to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN (CCK), Kenya’s Advisor to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN (Ministry of ICT) and KENIC have compiled the following list of government names for the Republic of Kenya and is inviting stakeholders for review and input before the list is submitted to the AU for implementation by end of January 2014.
Comments should be sent by 17th January 2014.

It's a nice attempt since we need to start from somewhere. Some names are a mouthful and not necessary like Kenyafederationoffootballassociation.africa and Jomokenyattauniversityofscienceandtechnology.africa and instituteofpublicaccountantsofkenya.africa. Totally unacceptable and no cyber squatters will register them. Others are totally unacceptable like Thikasuperhighway.africa some are ambiguous like instituteofhumanresourcemanagement.africa. The general rule of thumb is, if there is no .ke equivalent, or .com equivalent, then the reserved list name is a waste. The offensive names might not have been posted because they are embarrassing, probably. Ali's question of having a kalenjin.africa and not giriama.africa is very valid. Lets support this reserve list and comeup with names that safeguard our institutions and culture. Regards On 13/01/2014, Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:

Kivuva I just remembered that this should be the responsibility of the GAC Rep isn't it? By the way who is the GAC Rep? There should be a well thought out outreach program to ensure that Government interests and private sector are being safeguarded. This is critical otherwise we might find ourselves on the wrong end of the stick. For example critical names that we hold dear are missing from the list. Just a few come to mind. 1. Swahili.Africa 2. Harambee.Africa While Uchumi.Africa is a generic name and will attract a premium which,the government really should leave to Domainers to vie for..I understand premium names like these will go for $20k a pop.. And I'm sure others too. Whilst this is a good start I suggest whoever is responsible for this engages with the community at large to ensure this is done properly and professionally..

Others are totally unacceptable like Thikasuperhighway.africa
some are ambiguous like instituteofhumanresourcemanagement.africa.
The general rule of thumb is, if there is no .ke equivalent, or .com equivalent, then the reserved list name is a waste.
The offensive names might not have been posted because they are embarrassing, probably.
Ali's question of having a kalenjin.africa and not giriama.africa is very valid.
Lets support this reserve list and comeup with names that safeguard our institutions and culture.

*Dear KICTANet,*
*Re: Launch of the Dot Africa Government Reserved Names List (RNL) Policy*
The Dot Africa project has now reached a stage where African Governments are being offered an opportunity to reserve domain names that are of National significance before the dot Africa Top Level Domain is opened to general domain name registrations. Respective Governments will be required to redeem the reserved names within the timelines set in the RNL policy using the prescribed systems and tools that have been developed to facilitate efficient submission and redemption of reserved names.
The African Union (AU) through the Uniform SA (ZA Central Registry) which is the appointed registry for dot Africa has developed several policy documents, among them the Reserve Name List (RNL) policy that will be used to govern the process of reserving government names. The RNL policy, guidelines and portal are available at the following links (URLs):
1.
Reserve Name List Policy: www.africainonespace.org/rnlpolicy 2.
Reserve Name List Guidelines: http://africainonespace.org/rnlguide 3.
Reserve Name List Portal: http://africainonespace.org/rnl
The RNL policy provides for reservation of the following categories:
1.
Geographic names - Maximum of 100 names 2.
Religious Cultural and Linguistic - Maximum of 100 names 3.
Economic and public Interest Names - Maximum of 100 names 4.
Offensive Names - Maximum 25 names
Kenya’s representative to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN (CCK), Kenya’s Advisor to the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN (Ministry of ICT) and KENIC have compiled the following list of government names for the Republic of Kenya and is inviting stakeholders for review and input before the list is submitted to the AU for implementation by end of January 2014.
Comments should be sent by 17th January 2014.
