> As you all know, the ME Space can’t be convened face to face due to the Corona Virus pandemic, and this situation may last for long time.
> 
> We thought we can undertake remote activities that may replace our face to face work during this period to achieve our objective which is to make the voice of our region heard for all important issues at ICANN.
> 
> Therefore, Nadira and myself, with the strong support of Baher and Fahd, we propose to address the Universal Acceptance under the angle of Arabic script e-mail addresses and prepare a statement to be discussed virtually in a teleconference, modified if necessary, adopted and sent to the ICANN Board and the UASG.
> 
> But before that, and to permit to our community members to better understand the UA in general and the Arabic script for e-mail addresses in particular, a webinar will be organized with 3 experts who will present all aspects of the topic.
> 
> This whole process will start on 15 April at 10:00 UTC by the webinar. A detailed mail will be sent soon with all information (speakers, zoom, agenda, etc.).
