KENYA is bracing itself to host the 2010 edition of the African Top Level Domains Organization (AFTLD).
The event’s organizers, African Telecommunications Union (ATU), confirmed that the East African country will host the weeklong-event which is scheduled for Nairobi from 1st March.
AFTLD was established in 2002 to act as a focal point for African Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) managers in coordinating, formulating, developing and presenting a unified approach to issues related to the Domain Name System.
The organization also started as a project through which ISO 3166 Country-Code Top-Level Internet Domain (ccTLD) Registries in the African geographical area could share information and engage in concerted action, on issues of common concern.
More than 50 ccTLDs were associated with the project.
It acts as a focal point for all the African TLDs Managers, to discuss matters of policy that affect ccTLDs globally and then, where possible, to present the group’s position as one voice.
ATU, the organizers of the event, is the leading continental organization fostering the development of information and communication technologies infrastructure and services.
