ICANN’s participation is definitely key and your efforts to involve the operators in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Egypt</st1:place></st1:country-region> are also very much appreciated. Also, if you’d like to give a workshop on the topics mentioned please send me an abstract as well as details of how long and how many engineers you can deliver those to. As soon as the website is ready, we’ll post information for signup on it so that we can register people. As to the mandate, this is very similar to SANOG and NANOG. Our efforts are for the community and the NOG will be community driven. I’m just arranging things so that we can have a start somewhere. I’ll send you more information as it becomes available. Also, any organization that would like to formally participate, once again, please don’t be shy to let yourself be known. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Fahad.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -----Original Message----- From: ncc-regional-middle-east-admin@ripe.net [mailto:ncc-regional-middle-east-admin@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Baher Esmat Sent: 26 January 2007 20:28 To: 'Fahad AlShirawi'; 'Ahmed Maged'; ncc-regional-middle-east@ripe.net Subject: RE: [ncc-regional-middle-east] RIPE NCC Regional Meeting Bahrain: Minutes online <o:p> </o:p> Dear Fahd,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I’m here confirming that ICANN will be keen to participate in this coming meeting and share with participants topics pertaining to domain names and IP addressing. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> On the other hand, I would like to update the network operators in Egypt about this new initiative and to encourage their techies to take part in there.

You may not be aware of this, but during the last RIPE regional meeting, efforts to establish a NOG have been initiated and recently, a date was set for the first meeting. For everyone on this list, this is now in April from the 2nd to the 4th. Anyone interested in speaking, please let me, or Paul from RIPE NCC who is supporting the initiative now. Anyone interested in helping us organize, please feel free. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Sponsors, don’t be shy.

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. 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. Your suggestions and opinions is highly welcomed.
