Dear friends and colleagues,
As ICANN 81 Istanbul will be held in our regional area, we are all invited to work together in making the upcoming ME Space meeting a success in Istanbul.

Through previous calls and discussions, we have identified the following seven topics that may interest our community:
1. Regulating Emerging Technologies: Exploring DMA as a Guideline.
2. The Impact of Cyber Threats on ME Countries.
3. KINDNS Initiative: Why Operators in the Region Should Join.

4. AI Impact on ccTLD Operation.
5. Strategies to Increase Domain Name Sales in Current Markets.
6. Cybersecurity Enhancement and Awareness.
7. Rights and Responsibilities of Domain Name Registrants (RRR) in the Middle East.

Before we begin preparing for the Istanbul meeting, we invite you to review these topics and suggest any modifications or additional topics relevant to our region. Additionally, please let us know if any of these topics interest you and if you are ready to work on a draft or statement, or if you are available to contribute to it.

We kindly request your feedback, comments, and any related topics by the deadline of next Friday, July 26, 2024.

Regards,
Amin and Layal
