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

["Alireza Kashian" a_kashian@localhost]

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.

More Cooperation

Dear All,
First of all I would like to thank Mr. Alireza for this initiative, the
email was sent on 19/2/2006 till today I have seen more than 30 replay
to this email " 3/4/2006", representing most of the countries in the
Middle east region, from the details of the individual we can see that
the list consists of highly competent members in the Internet
technologies in general.

Now we need to ask our self what is next, what is the individual
expectation from this list ?

I would like to here your view of what is next what are your expectation
for this list?

I hope we will see active participation from the members in answering
the above question, in the same level and motivation "if not better"  as
what we have seen in introducing our contacts.

Best Regards,

Saleem Al-Balooshi

Dear Colleagues @ Ripe Ncc

First of all I should say thanks to Axel Pawlik and Ripe NCC's staff
to help growing up discussion around Middle East IP Networking by
making mailing list and arranging regional meetings.

During past 2 years, I have been involved in Internet Governance
negotiations and I realized that we don't have very strong
participation from middle east region in both consultations and
publishing.

I think Middle East countries need to have more contacts, more
synchronization and more cooperation on some of regional tasks like
development of Internet Exchange Points.

At the begging we would need to know each other much more and even
invite our colleagues join the mailing lists.

It will be my pleasure to share my contact info here:
