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.
