Dear Walid,

Dear MEAC-SWG members,

Thanks to Walid for conducting this collegial process to select a representative to the MEAC-SIG EC.

Congratulations to the 57% members who voted and to all who offered to serve on the MEAC-SIG EC. Congratulations to Zakir.

Dear Zakir, now you're the voice of the community, not being a new EC member, it is important to make sure that the SIG curriculum does address the issues of the region. We would like to see more transparency of the selection process and to announce the name of participants after taking their concent publicly. So far the MEAC-SIG have been shy of announcing those accepted in the program. It gives the impression that what they are doing is something wrong.

To the MEAC-SIG organizers (Ines, Farzaneh and Salam) I'm listing you here because you're members of the MEAC-SWG. You had a good start of defining the task of EC but more work needed to be done. As Tijani has supported my proposal to have a limited number of terms for representatives from MEAC-SWG and SIG alumni to sit on the EC to get fresh ideas and to give the window to new community members to have an entrance for engagement. Another issue on EC members that need to be addressed to notice those members in both MEAC-SIG and MEAC-SWG and how to deal with them.

Please, do consider to provide an advance curriculum every 5 years to bring SIG alumni beyond the IG basics.

To the 57% members of this list, where are you when you need your voice on actionable events? Soon there are the Read out session to be held, make sure to mark it on your calender when it is announced to make sure to attend and learn.

To the silent members, please do address your concern and needs to find solutions for your interest.

Regards to all,

Nadira AL-Araj

Thank you Tijani for your kind words and for bringing up the issue of limiting consecutive terms.

This is something that is up to MEAC-SIG to consider more than it is an issue for MEAC-SWG but bringing in new people is always welcome of course. That is a good subject to tackle in future reforms we have in various activities conducted within ICANN.

Sincerely,

Walid

Thank you Walid for conducting this process.

I do congratulate Zakir and hope him the best in his mission and thank the other candidates for volunteering.
It was a democratic process that I do appreciate.
Nevertheless, I agree with Nadira that it needs a charter to define the number of consecutive terms, the minimum requirements, etc. to avoid having always the same people or people with no qualification for such work.

Best

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:
Zakir Syed: 17 (51.5%)
Ahmed Bakhat: 9 (27.3%)
Hanan Khatib: 6 (18.2%)
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
