Yes, there are even parts of the EU which are not a comfortable 
round-trip to Amsterdam (even less so Brussels as it's a much smaller 
airport). By comfortable I would say within 90 minutes flying time and 
planes arriving and departing at the required times.

RIPE NCC has Regional Meetings which can include aspects of outreach to 
governments. I see there was also a Middle East Regional Roundtable in 
2011.
