Africa DNS Forum Happening tomorrow

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Farzaneh,

Thanks for raising this,
I think for ME DNS forum, we got make progress because we kept approaching
and working with regional ICANN staff on the matter and on ME strategy to
be involved in the planning. We can follow the same approach for the other
regional forums and build working relations with the regional staff to be
effective.

Best,

Rafik
