Dear all,

I wish to thank all the members who voted to select the MEAC-SWG member to serve on the Steering Committee of the 2019 MEAC-SIG to take place in Rabat, Morocco during 8-12 July 2019. 

I hereby announce the results as follows:

The total number of votes cast were: 33 (out of 58 members), which were distributed as follows:
  1. Zakir Syed: 17 (51.5%)
  2. Ahmed Bakhat: 9 (27.3%)
  3. Hanan Khatib: 6 (18.2%)
  4. Hago Dafalla: 1 (3%)
I will therefore proceed to forward Zakir's name to the MEAC-SIG Secretariat as the selected member.

While we congratulate and wish the best to Zakir in his role in MEAC-SIG, we must also express our deep gratitude to Ahmed, Hanan and Hago for their participation in this democratic process. Without them, the process would not have been possible.

Best.

Walid Al-Saqaf
Chair, MEAC-SWG
