Room:
CendrarsRepresentatives of Arab ccTLDs from North Africa and the Middle East are gathering alongside the ICANN International meeting in Paris. There are folks who are attending the ICANN meeting for the first time, so the gathering will be a good opportunity for them to get acquainted with ICANN as well as with ccTLD related organizations such as ccNSO, AfTLD, and APTLD. The Multilingual Internet Initiative (MII) is also participating in this meeting to inform ccTLDs in the region of its activities. A topic of great interest to the region is IDNs, and in this meeting participants will have the chance to learn about IDN Fast Track, in addition to the work undertaken by the Arabic Script IDN Working Group (ASIWG).
