9How 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
10Conclusion
- 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 dont need to have an Arabic
Intranet. We need to be part of the global
community
