The .ke domain was originally delegated in 1993 by Jon Postel to Dr. Shem Ochuodho. In 2001, Kenyan stakeholders formed KeNIC to professionalize domain management. A formal redelegation process occurred in 2002 after IANA determined that KeNIC had broad local support and institutional capacity, while the original steward had not responded to requests for collaboration. The redelegation was approved, marking a shift from individual stewardship to institutional governance aligned with Kenya’s national interests.
