(DNS) for the Middle East and Adjoining Countries (MEAC). The "Middle East DNS Study" was completed after receiving feedback on the initial draft, which was published before the ICANN54 meeting in Dublin. The report presents findings on the current state
of the Internet and the domain name industry in the MEAC region. ICANN selected a consortium led by the .eu Registry (EURid), with support from Emily Taylor Internet Research, Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property and Oxford Information Labs, to conduct the
DNS study.
