<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
My name is Ahmed Maged, i work with a Networking gear vendor, before that with
an ISP, i am<br>
glad something like this took place in the region finally and i will make sure
i attend the next one. <br>
<br>
I was thinking of grouping network operators and vendors of the region to a
nog, that would be menanog, middle east and north africa NOG, to discuss
operational experiences and new technologies, nothing related to my position at
the vendor, just because i know how this region needs one because i was in that
place one day where i wish something like that were there. <br>
<br>
I already have the domain <a href="http://www.menanog.org">www.menanog.org</a>,
i want people to work with me on that, if you think this is not going to work,
please tell me your reasons and if it conflicts somehow with RIPE-NCC-Middle
East, tell me as well. <br>
<br>
Your suggestions and opinions is highly welcomed.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ahmed Maged<br>
