[Reminder] Draft ICANN Engagement Strategy Document Still Out for Public Comments
by Fahd Batayneh April 1, 2020

April 1, 2020

Friends and Colleagues, As you know, a group of community members from the Middle East came together last October to start work on a new engagement strategy for ICANN in the Middle East. The SWG worked extremely hard over the course of 4 months to develop a draft strategy document that is in line with ICANN’s 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. I am pleased to share with you that the draft strategy document has gone out for public comments, and remains so until 3 April 2020 at 23.59 UTC. We encourage you to share your input and feedback on the draft strategy document. The link to the public comments page is as follows >> https://www.icann.org/public-comments/meac-strategy-2020-02-18-en. We look forward to your contribution. Thank you, Baher, Seher, and Fahd

Re: [ME ICANN] [Webinar Recording] ICANN67 Online Readout Session

Thank you, Zakir. Remote hubs can be created by the community. If you feel you can create a local hub and attract attendance, then go ahead. Fahd From: Zakir Syed <zakirbinrehman(a)yahoo.com> Date: Monday, March 23, 2020 at 10:10 PM To: Middle East ICANN <middle-east(a)icann.org>, Fahd Batayneh <fahd.batayneh(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [ME ICANN] [Webinar Recording] ICANN67 Online Readout Session Thank you Fahd, So, as Satish mentioned we may have the upcoming ICANN meeting again as remote meeting. 67 was a different region and because of the time difference it has hard for participant from our region to make it to most of the sessions. I attended a number of them in the mid night. Off the top of my head, if 68 too is online, it will be our region and so what if we consider the idea of having remote hubs in different parts of the MEAC region, for certain selected session. Just a thought. Thanks everyone and hope you are all doing good.
