The .ke domain was originally delegated in 1993 by Jon Postel to Dr. Shem Ochuodho and Randy Bush. By 2001, Kenyan stakeholders formed the Kenya Network Information Centre (KeNIC) to take over the management of the .ke domain. In June 2002, KeNIC requested redelegation of the domain from IANA, with support from the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) and local Internet stakeholders. However, Dr. Ochuodho objected and failed to cooperate with IANA’s requests for resolution. | The .ke domain was originally delegated in 1993 by Jon Postel to Dr. Shem Ochuodho and Randy Bush.
