Friends and Colleagues,

As you may know, ICANN organizes the Middle East DNS Forum on annual basis. The forum has a Program Committee of 6 members who work on the agenda in terms of suggesting topics and suggesting speakers. Every year, 3 members retire, thus pave the way for 3 new members to join the PC.

This is a call for interested experts and relevant stakeholders to apply for one of the 3 vacancies of the ME DNS Forum PC. Interested candidates are expected to:

• Serve with no financial compensation incurred;
• Attend teleconference calls when needed;
• Have expertise in one or more of the following:
  • DNS Registry and Registrar Operations;
  • Domain Name Marketing and Business Development;
  • DNS Protocols and Technologies, including DNSSEC, IPv6, IDNs, etc.;
  • DNS Security, Stability, and Resiliency;
  • Expertise in event planning and agenda development; and
  • Strong network of contacts.
• Serve for a term of 2 years; and
• Devote adequate time especially around the forum’s dates.

If interested, please fill out the form at https://forms.gle/L67xKFR4vg1y65sn6. The form remains open until Sunday 15 September 2018 at 23.59 UTC.

Thank you,
