How could AINC achieve its
goals?
 We
need the support of ICANN, IETF,
WIPO and Arab institutions such as the
Arab League and the ITU regional office
for Arab countries, etc.
 We need consumers to voice themselves
and let us know their feedback
 We need trademark holders to present
their perspective
Conclusion

We have to recognize that the Internet is a global medium

We have to recognize the cultural and linguistic differences when
looking for a solution. The involvement of local communities is
very important

When examining solutions we have to pay more attention to the
long-term solution

Cooperation with MINC, ICANN, IETF, ITU & WIPO is very
important to the legitimacy of AINC
Institutionalizing our activities is very encouraging for the
industry and for the Arabic Internet user


Standards that we come up with need to be compliant with the
current Internet infrastructure. We don’t need to have an Arabic
Intranet. We need to be part of the global community
