Many thanks Tijani and Nadira .. Very grateful for this thoughtful idea !! Happy to cooperate with colleagues from the Middle East and Africa in recognizing Dr. Tarek as a person and as an expert, through a special event or award .. Let’s wait to see what other colleagues think and take it from there .. Kind Regards --Manal From: Middle-East [mailto:middle-east-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Tijani BEN JEMAA Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2019 11:25 PM To: Middle-east@icann.org Subject: [ME ICANN] [ME Space] Passing away of Tarek Kamel Dear all, We are all very sad that our friend, mentor, supporter, …… left us today. Tarek was special for all and for our region in particular. Nadira and myself, we propose that we organize in Montreal a special event for the memory of Tarek. I proposed the same to the African Space and there is a huge support for the idea. I proposed a joint event ME Space - AFRALO-AfrICANN, and here also there is strong support from the African side. Of course, it will not be a very long event, and its content should be discussed and agreed on by all of us. There are several proposals on the table: talks for his memory with large poster, candles, Tarek Kamel Award, etc. But I’m sure we can find better ideas. What do you
