Hi Adam
I think we'd also be interested in any opportunity to participate even if remotely - and yes, Australia is in the Asis-Pacific area. So all further details welcome,.
Holly, I agree (and I should get used to typing AAP rather than AP region.) I wasn't suggesting we all need to start asking for flights to Dubai, remote access would be helpful. Nick, I know of a few civil society organizations from the Western Asia region active in the IGF, they might be interested. Best, Adam
Kind regards

If there isn't outreach to individual users it will be the second time in half a year a major ICANN meeting has taken place in the AP region with no opportunity for contributions from users (or for that matter, civil society organizations.) Not a very good multi-stakeholder model is it.
Meeting not on the meeting schedule yet, any additional information available?

I have a bit more information on this meeting but will have more soon.
It may be helpful to know that this meeting is being held at the request of business interests who are interested in the potential business opportunities in the New GTLDs space and governments who wish to know more in particular about IDNs, as well as some ccTLDs who wish to have some in-depth technical training on issues relevant to themselves.
This does not mean that it is impossible to arrange an individual Internet user component alongside these other elements - however, after reviewing the information once it is available, it may be felt that an outreach-event related to individual Internet users could be more useful at another event in the region.
In summary, once I have some further information I will let you know (you can also refer to what is posted shortly) - this should provide a more informed basis that we currently have to review things.

There are actually two ALSes in West Asia. One is even based in Emirates--Emirates Internet Group! Will ICANN involve this local ALS in multi-stakeholder discussion?

Will there be any component/focus on AtLarge if they are going to talk about "multi-stakeholder" model? We have only one ALS from West Asia/ Arab world yet and it would be a loss of opportunity if we don't try to use this opportunity. thanks,
