Middle East DNS Forum is Looking for Program Committee Members

The Middle East DNS Forum is held every year somewhere in the region. You can read about the previous ones here.

In common with pretty much all conferences there is a program committee who work on putting the event together. In order to keep things “fresh” membership of the program committee rotates, with 3 members rotating off every year.

So if you’d like to join the committee there are 3 places up for grabs.

It’s a volunteer role and you will NOT be paid. Still interested?

Here’s what they’re looking for:

  • Serve with no financial compensation incurred;
  • Attend teleconference calls when needed;
  • Have expertise in one or more of the following:
  • DNS Registry and Registrar Operations;
  • Domain Name Marketing and Business Development;
  • DNS Protocols and Technologies, including DNSSEC, IPv6, IDNs, etc.;
  • DNS Security, Stability, and Resiliency;
  • Expertise in event planning and agenda development; and
  • Strong network of contacts.
  • Serve for a term of 2 years;
  • Devote adequate time especially around the forum’s dates; and
  • Travel to attend the forum and possibly PC face-to-face meetings.

If you’re interested in applying you have until August 3rd. Apply online here.
