Friends and Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that the 3rd edition of the Arab IGF will take place in Beirut, Lebanon during November 26-27, 2014 at the Mövenpick Beirut Hotel <http://www.moevenpick-hotels.com/en/middle-east/lebanon/beirut/hotel-beirut /overview/?gclid=CK_q16Wq2b8CFennwgod6kgAEA> with a generous host from the UN-ESCWA. The theme for this years edition is An Arab Vision for the Development of the Future Internet. The official announcement in Arabic can be found at http://beta.igfarab.org/GetNews.jsp?news_ID=25. There are plans for a day-0 on November 25 where an introduction to Internet Governance will be covered, but this is pending availability of funds. Also, for those interested in organizing a workshop, there is a call for workshops at http://beta.igfarab.org/GetNews?news_ID=24. Again, the link is in Arabic. The deadline for workshop calls is August 20, 2014. The registration for the 3rd Arab IGF will open in mid-September right after the 7th Arab IGF MAG meeting and the Global IGF both to convene in Istanbul. Finally, for those interested in following the work of the Arab IGF, Id strongly recommend subscribing to their mailing list at http://igfarab.org/index.php/mailing-list/. Announcements are posted in both Arabic and English, and most of the discussions are in English. Thank you, Fahd Batayneh Arab IGF MAG Member
