Dear ICANN MEAC community,
As per the discussion on the mailing list, the ME Space leading team is pleased to announce that the selected topic for the ME Space at ICANN 66 in Montreal will be “*Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN Multi-Stakeholder Model*” and call for for members to form the drafting team.
The call for Drafting Team members opens today 2 September at 12:00 UTC and closes on 13 September at 12:00 UTC
By Sept. 13, the volunteers will select their pen-holder to lead the work. Hence, I call upon the community members to respond to this email or they can write directly offlist to Mr. Tijani and me.
We encourage all those interested in this topic to get into the experience of development the Middle East position to be submitted to the right channel and posted to the public comments below.
If you wish you can browse through the background documents that you can find in the link below before deciding to volunteer.
*Next Steps to Improve the Effectiveness of ICANN's Multistakeholder Model.*
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/multistakeholder-model-next-steps-2019...
The kick-off in drafting will be starting with all at equal level, as we believe that each one of us are able to contribute with substantial input even with one value added comment. However, we will keep track to those who volunteered and didn't contribute and we will list them as observers.
Will be waiting eagerly for the coming volunteers.
Best wishes,
Nadira
