[ncc-regional-middle-east] Cooperation Coordination Center [C3] for Middle East Region

Dear All,
 
Not sure wither I've already shared my contact information yet, but I'm listing them down below.
 
Many thanks go to Ali Reza and Saleem, the input made is important, particularly the C3 concept, without which this discussion group will become baseless. 
 
the Terms of Reference listed in Mr. Ali Reza's e-mail is a good answer to Saleem's question about what is expected, next is to answer the 'What is next?' question!

Dear Saleem Al Balooshi

Thanks for your approach and also all other members to share their contact
info.
For your information, we have nearly 40 replies for sharing contacts and
that made me surprised.
If some of the members wouldn't start sharing their contacts, then we
wouldn't have resonant messages.

I think more or less, all members of middle east region are now aware of
this sharing outreach. Some members may prefer not to share and we respect
their privacy levels.

I have asked my colleague to review all messages and make up contact table
out them.[including Tel,Fax, Email,Address and Title]

In next step, I propose to establish a Cooperation/Coordination Center (C3)
for middle east region. This Center would be established virtually without
any physical office. Later we can assign a few volunteer staff to help us
running this center.

The center activities would be categorized to following tasks:
1- Internet Governance issues in Middle East
2- Developing E-Business in Middle East region (More dialoge - More
benefits)
3- Sharing experices for Networking/IPv6 and Internet Exchange Points
4- Participating in ICANN / Governmental Advisory Committee and At Large
Advisory Committee [ icann.org / gac.icann.org]
5- Participating in Internet Governance Forum of United Nations
[http://www.intgovforum.org/]
6- Running Regional Seminars and Conferences in Middle East countries.


We can add some more tasks to this center and even young people can join
this center for executive purposes.

I wish you all best and waiting for your valuable comments.

PS. I was in ICANN Meeting in Wellington [New Zealand] last week. ICANN is
interested to have more active members from middle east region especially in
Governmental Advisory Committee.
