If yes, please specify: (role + session):
At ICANN65, 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.

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

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
