I am unable to attend the upcoming ICANN meeting without ccNSO Travel
Support.: Yes
I am a ccNSO-appointed co-chair to a Cross-Community working Group (CCWG): No
I am a ccNSO Council member.: No
I am a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) member.: No
I am expecting to be a speaker/presenter/session chair at ccNSO relevant
sessions during the ICANN meeting for which I apply for funding.: Yes
If yes, please specify: (role + session):
At ICANN66, I would like to deliver a presentation during the ccNSO days
(whether on the TechDay, or as in the Members’ Updates session, whichever
would better fit the organizers' plan).
The topic of my presentation is: DNSSEC Trends in  the Middle East: the State
of the Play and Challenges.
I am a ccNSO Working Group Chair actively meeting at the ICANN meeting for
which funding is requested.: No
I am a ccNSO Working Group member actively meeting at the ICANN meeting for
which funding is requested.: Yes
I am a liaison to the ccNSO Council, as per the definition included in the
relevant ccNSO Guideline: Liaison and Observers [1].: No
I am an observer, as per the definition included in the relevant ccNSO
Guideline: Liaison and Observers [2].: No

If yes, please specify: Having checked records of some ccNSO sessions at some
previous ICANN Meetings I could not help but notice that the ME part of the
community appeared fairly underrepresented. While there might be various
causes behind that, I believe it is high time I as a member of the technical
part of the regional community could help the Council and session organizers
reach out to my counterparts across the region; promote my and others'
experience by contributing to ICANN readout sessions; keep  my colleagues in
the Arab world abreast of recent industry developments by attending, whether
remotely or in person, ccNSO sessions, ICANN ME DNS Forums, and other
industry events; and share my experience with those ccNSO members (and
non-members in particular) willing to engage in information exchange and best
practices transfer.
In the future, I intend to contribute to the work of the ccNSO.: Yes
If yes, please specify:
In addition to some action items referred to above, as a professional, I am
interested in joining the TLD-OPS network as I found its operation to be most
critical and relevant to the global and regional communities alike.
I am also hoping to be one of experts to represent my region in the Technical
and Information Security Pools of Expertise.
Last but not least, I am oping to proactively engage with the community in
the Middle East to ensure its broader participation in ccNSO activities.
I am hoping to lead by example thereby paving the way for others
I was previously granted ccNSO travel funding.: No
Any additional information you would like to share?
