Robert and all, Thank you Robert for you kind offer. There are to our knowledge no REAL internet governance experts that are natives to the region to which you refer. There are however a significant number of phishers, spammers, and hackers associated with several terrorist organizations that may claim to be internet governance experts that are indiginious to the region of which you speak. I don't believe these folks would be very helpful, but would be of interest to the relevant LEA's seeking at this time to bring these individuals into a, shall we say a "More controled enviroment". -----Original Message-----

Looking ahead towards the fall ICANN meeting in Egypt - I would like to know if any outreach is being planned or envisioned to internet users in the middle-east and north africa.

If not, suffice it to say that I am in touch with a rather extensive network of internet governance experts, internet users - bloggers and internet saavy organizations in the region that could be interested in attending the meeting and engaging us.

regards,
