[MEAC-SWG] Regarding MEAC 2016-2019 Engagement Strategy
by Amal Ramzi Nov. 17, 2016

Nov. 17, 2016

Dear all, Thank you all for your effort exerted on MEAC engagement strategy for the coming years! ِBefore the strategy content , I think the strategy should be clearly namedMEAC Engagement Strategy in all web pages ‘cause it’s mentioned as “MEAC strategy” in the main strategy web page: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/meac-strategy-2016-10-27-en which makes misunderstanding for instance and could make anyone think of the strategy mission or overall objective as a limited mission or objective unless s/he knew it's particularly for engagement , " attract more active and engaged participants from the region to contribute to ICANN's policy development processes and to acquire leading roles within the ICANN community”. Actually , even regardless to that , the MEAC Engagement Strategy focus areas and objectives are great and clearly aligned with ICANN 2016-2020 strategic plan objectives in the region, but they are not reflected by or reflecting the mission and the overall objective "attract more active and engaged participants from the region to contribute to ICANN's policy development processes and to acquire leading roles within the ICANN community”. Maybe the overall objective or mission should address evolvingthe internet ecosystem in the region and engaging it to the global internetecosystem through ICANN, I mean something like what's mentioned in the WG charter : “ The strategy is expected to understand the needs ofthe Internet ecosystem in the region as well as tackle the obstacles andchallenges that hinder its development.”. Related to the strategy content: 1- I suggest an additional action that falls under focus area FA1 & FA2 related to DNS infrastructure & marketplace : To found a regional expertise pool or Think Tank fromtechnical experts, lawyers, and policy makers who can operate as asustainable reference and consultants for present and future DNS related issuesin the region, and who stay updated of the best practices in regional andglobal level. It would be also a seed for manyDNS-related local & regional initiatives and future related studies, researches, consultancies, & policies across the region. It’s good to see a MEAC Internet Governance Think Tank as a sustainableoutcome from the strategy like the DNS-EC which was one of the implementation outcomes of2013-2016 strategy. 2- An addition related mostly to 5.1.1.2 (objectives of FA1) where the lack of related laws is a huge obstacle in our region :to reinforce the policy andlaw environment for a secure, stable, and resilient DNS by raising the awareness of the LEAs, decision makers, and policy developers, and encourage them to draft and statespecific laws that provide a secure environment for internet and DNS industryor marketplace.*And a metric should be added accordingly : The number of laws,treaties, or charters stated to contribute in enhancing the DNS marketplace andDNS security, stability, & resiliency. 3- Additional actions underFA3 (Clarify ICANN’s role …)under objective 1: To design ICANN curriculum divided into tracks, each of which represents a stakeholder group illustrating (thestakeholder group within ICANN context and global internet governance, theimportance or necessity to get engaged in ICANN work under this group, How theycan be engaged under this group, resources & contact points). Then the volunteers in the implementationplan of MEAC Engagement Strategy should act as ICANN ambassadors to multiple stakeholdersin their countries. * Additional metric accordingly under FA3: - The number ofgovernments in the region joined GAC. - The number of new ALSes,IGFs or any IG related entity or initiative or activity per country (I meanas indicator on the size or percentage of outreach coverage distribution andbalance among all or most of the countries in the region). Please excuse any trivial or out of context comments, I know that some of what I mentioned maybe related to the implementation plan more than the general strategy but as I saw the strategy discussed certain level of actions that can be taken to attain the objectives. Best Regards,Amal Al-saqqaf

[MEAC-SWG] Hello.
by Mr.Phang Chan Nov. 15, 2016

Nov. 15, 2016

Hello, I am Mr. Phang Chan, the branch manager in Aba bank of Cambodia, we had a foreign customer who bears your lastname,in the year 2013 my client and his only son were involved in a car accident along Sihanoukville express Road here in Cambodia unfortunately they lost their lives in the car crash. Since then our bank is making inquiries to your country and embassy here to locate any of our clients extended relatives, this proved unsuccessful.our foreign Late customer has an account with our bank totaling $7.500.000.00, which he inherited from his late father who was an industrialist before he died, since that year after his death our bank has not had anyone that comes for the claim of this fund,either his relation or even as a friend. A situation I have monitored closely with my position here as a branch manager of our bank and l have finally removed his file to my private vault. Now this is what l actually wants you to do, since you bear the same family name with him and of the same nationality I have reasoned very professionally and l know that it will be proper to present you as his next of kin so as to claim out this fund, before it is transferred to the bank treasury and it will become history, because the government of our country will claim the fund if nobody comes to claim the fund. I am quite aware of the procedures what this will take and I will advice you appropriately on the way forward and guide you on how to apply to our bank to make the claim for the fund and its bank-to-bank transfer to your designated bank account where you consider safe. Thank you in anticipation of your response and I will furnish you with the full details, l intend you take 50% of the total fund while l take 50%, I hope you are a honest and reliable person? Waiting to hear from you shortly. Yours Sincerely, Mr.Phang Chan. Aba bank Branch Manager. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Re: [MEAC-SWG] Draft Middle East and Adjoining Countries 2016-2019 Strategy
by hafedh Nov. 8, 2016

Nov. 8, 2016

Hi Fahd and all; Below are my comments for the ICANN MEAC strategic plan; 1. Global comments: * In terms of effectiveness and performance, the ICANN MEAC strategic goals are in some extend converging with a set of SDGs for economic development and sustainability (Ex: SDG#9 : Infrastructure and development, SDG# Global partnership and collaboration). Its appropriate to mention such synergies between the UN goals and ICANN goals in the region. Thus, will push further governments support of ICANN MEAC strategic goals. * The coordinating of the allocation and assignment of the unique identifiers for the Internet - ("IP") addresses, DNs - in MEAC strategic plan requires in-depth clarifications for more efficiency of results at the field level, this is due to the lack of IPv6 national plans in the region. Government as well as ISPs, registrars etc ... need urgent engagements with different stakeholders in the region for an effective IPv6 deployment. We see only some academia attempts in such direction, thus, requires more effective support. 2. Specific comments to the alignment with ICANN's 2016-2020 Strategic Plan: * While ICANN is guided by core values enumerated in its Bylaws like diversity, fairness, integrity, creativeness, effectiveness, responsiveness, and transparency, it's very important to re-mention such values in the MEAC strategic plan and show the strong commitment of the ICANN MEAC-SWG in storing such values, the region is in an early stage in instituting such culture and values. 3. Comments related to the strategic areas for engagement 4. Support secure, stable, and resilient domain name system (DNS) infrastructure in the MEAC region * Promoting ICANN's role and multistakeholder approach in MENA region is still very challenging to realize, we witnessed such issue in the Arab MAG representatively! Furthermore, many Arab states are yet not committed to the bottom-up approach in the decision making process. The needed strategy should not be limited to promotion; it should dive deeper in an effective consensus debate between different stakeholders and their governments to develop IG policies to implement a practical bottom-up decision making process in the field. * We advise for more coordination and support for the policy development and advocacy related to the strategy technical functions such the DNS, security, DNSSEC, etc in MEAC region. 5. Promote a healthy and competitive domain name marketplace in the MEAC region * We are all aware of the trillions of things which will be connected by the end of 2020, many using the DNS and all using IP addresses as a platform. This will expand dramatically as well in MEAC region "Ex: IoT industry in Saudi Arabia and UAE". We advise for more focus by the ICANN MEAC strategic plan in manage these huge waves of change affecting the DNS industry. * The availability of new TLDs, DNSs and IPs are driving social and economic change and expansion, it's wise to clarify in the strategic plan the regional engines that ICANN is committed to put in place to empower the regional responsible industry that fosters economic growth and innovation. Cordially. Hafedh Al Yahmadi

[MEAC-SWG] MENOG contribution for ICANN MEAC strategy document / Public Comments
by Chafic Chaya Nov. 7, 2016

Nov. 7, 2016

Dear Sir/Madam, MENOG (The Middle East Network Operators Group) is looking into expanding the scope of its roadshows to include DNS operations and DNSSEC. The Roadshows have already visited 10 out of 14 countries in the Middle East region with workshops related to routing and IPv6 deployment. The Roadshow concept has proven to be highly successful as it targets the national Internet stakeholders bringing them together for the country development as a whole in the region. We believe that a partnership between the MENOG DNS Roadshows and ICANN would fulfil the objectives of the MEAC regional strategy in supporting secure, stable, and resilient DNS infrastructure in the MEAC region where raising awareness, building technical capacities and training technical experts are the main scope of the roadshows. Thank you for your consideration. MENOG secretariat.
