Additional Comment on MEAC Strategy 2021-2025

Adding on to my previous comment, what about ICANN to host another meeting in the near future (hopefully in 2021) in the region again?

MEAC strategy 2021-2025 Comment
by Yeseul Kim Feb. 29, 2020

I would like to suggest the followings to be added to the proposed agendas. 1. To conduct a study on MEAC Multistakeholder models on the Internet Governance - this would clarify further steps that ICANN can take to strengthen its relations with the regional stakeholders 2. To strengthen ties with academic institutions in the region - Though there are already several institutions which have collaboratively worked with ICANN from the region, diversifying ties with the academic institutions in the region, especially from the central Middle East countries such as UAE, Qatar or Saudi Arabia, will help ICANN to have stronger relationships with MEAC region. This will also help boost UA acceptance in the region as it requires quite a lot of academic works, not to mention that it will also help encourage more participants to take part in MEAC-SIG or Arab IGF. Although I’m not well aware of the works by GAC members from the region, this will also help facilitate any forthcoming agendas on Geographical Indications and other Domain Name related disputes from the region. 3. To help establish MEAC Youth IGF - Unlike Europe or APAC region where Youth IGF or youth participants are highly organized and well conducted at various levels with thorough communications among these different levels - from government to academia to civil society to private sector, it seems that MEAC region lacks more support and participation from youth participants. However, as it seems that more youths from the region take more active participation in IG forums, ICANN can encourage any Youth activities through forming MEAC Youth IGF or any related events. This can also be done in conjunction with item no.2 4. Any regional NOGs and separate NICs for the region?

(MEAC) Strategy 2021-2025 Comment
by Abdullah Cemil AKÇAM Feb. 25, 2020

Dear All I have read the draft document for 2021-2025 strategy and have some inputs. As a newcomer to domain name world I must say that ICANN's governance model is hard to grasp quickly. Even after reading the relevant sources, there remains some unknowns. So, there can be a newcomer program within MEA region. Hence the topic 3.2 ICANN's Governance can be udpdated as follows: 3.2.2 Regional Goals Add: Support and cooperate with newcomers to maket hem adapt to the system 3.2.4 Proposed Actions Add: Start MEA-Newcomers program to train, inform and grow newly attended members.
