MEAC-SIG
Middle East and Adjoining Countries School on Internet Governance or MEAC-SIG launched as a part of ICANN's Middle East Engagement Strategy, devised by the Middle East Strategy Working Group. Through ICANN, the MEAC-SIG is an annua five-day event comprised of focused sessions tailored to fit the region's needs, covering a broad range of issues, ranging from technical to policy aspects of internet governance.[1]
Its conferences have five tracks, targeting the following groups:[2]
- Academia and Research
- Civil Society and NGOs
- Government and Public Sector
- Technical Community
- Private Sector and Business
Asides from its annual conference, which changes host countries every year, the MEAC-SIG program intends to continue community development by creating an alumni network and have students engage in ICANN, IGF, Arab IGF and other relevant regional activities.[1]
