I think there would be a need to have some kind of coordination. The ME DNS Forum has to be rotated around the region instead of sticking to one country, for example Dubai. I know the MENOG does rotate but the trouble I had this year with MENOG was that it was right after the ICANN Meeting or even during it. Thats a bit of a pain but then all these organizations and events are independent to organize and schedule on their respective programs.
I wonder how much the MENOG rotates.
