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:[1]

  • 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]

Events

  • #2 - Tunis Gammarth, Tunisia (May 25-29, 2014 at Regency Tunis Hotel): Hosted by ISOC Tunisie and organized by ICANN.[1]
  • #1 - Kuwait City, Kuwait (May 25-29, 2014): Hosted by the Kuwait Information Technology Society (KITS).[2]
