[AfrICANN-discuss] Dubai ICANN regional meeting - and others

[Anne-Rachel Inné]

All,

Khaled, thank you so much for sending this update. This initiative of a
regional meeting is part of  ICANN's experience in trying to be even closer
to regional communities on  subjects that are dear to them.

I know quite a few people in our community would also like to have specific
meetings on subjects that are of importance to us and I would like to hear
from them what they think those subjects are. We need to plan ahead as so
many meetings are coming up for the end of 2008 if anything is to be done.
In any case, I would appreciate your thought as we have started planning for
2009 too. As you may all recall, the ICANN fiscal year goes from July to
June.

I would like to also remind all of you that the 10th anniversary of ICANN
will be celebrated on African soil: 2-7 November 2008 Africa, most probably
Egypt so please put this on your calendar. Let's make it a big reunion!

Best regards,
ar
