The trend this issue has taken cannot be reversed. You just need to
embrace Govt influence however minimal or much. The writing is on
the wall and we have no choice as Ugandans to work out a Public
Private Partnership with Govt on this issue. Isnt the UIXP operating
very well with UCC's assistance? Why dont you want them to
participate in this process too?
Actually what I find strange is that the people who have been
advocating for a change in the .UG ccTLD management first tried to
build consensus from the community and when this failed, they figured
that lobbying the regulator to intervene under the guise of there
being a serious problem that needed to be fixed before the whole
thing came crashing down would work for them.
I remember clearly this discussion being raised not just once but
multiple times and there being no traction. Now once again it is being
raised and made to appear as something all the community is pushing
when there has never actually been any such consensus from what I have
seen from previous discussions.
This makes me begin to question the motives of the people involved in
this and whether they are as altruistic as they try to make them seem.
On the issue of the UIXP, UCC actually does not have any say in
decisions concerning the running of the IX except to advise on what is
legally acceptable under their regulatory regime and their gracious
donation of space and power for the IX. What is being suggested in
this proposal goes way beyond that and honestly I would love to keep
the UIXP out of this particular discussion.
Noah.
