[menog-announce] Invitation: Multi-stakeholder Internet Governance in the Arab World, Dubai, 3-5 March 2013

[MENOG Coordination]

Dear Colleague,

I warmly invite you to join Internet governance experts and industry leaders from all over the world at the Radisson Royal Hotel in Dubai on 3-5 March 2013 for a meeting on Multi-stakeholder Internet Governance in the Arab World. This event is hosted by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of UAE, as part of the Open Consultations for the Arab Internet Governance Forum, with support from the RIPE NCC and ICANN.

Attendees will join leaders and senior executives, including ICANN President and CEO, Fadi Chehade, Chairman of the ICANN Board, Steve Crocker, and the senior management of the RIPE NCC. The meeting aims to develop greater engagement between Internet organizations and stakeholder groups in the Arab region.

The event is also an opportunity to share best practices for successful multi-stakeholder models and consider ways to enhance effective participation in global Internet governance fora. Presentations on the day will include ICANN's strategy plan in relation to the Arab region, as developed by its multi-stakeholder Middle East Strategy Working Group.

Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to provide your feedback, to note your concerns and to help guide the work of international Internet organisations like ICANN and the RIPE NCC on Internet governance-related matters.
