>>
>>    -
>>
>>    Macedonia is a country in our region, and AEC already plans to host
>>    an annual telecom meeting in May next year, in Ohrid (situated some 170 km
>>    away from Skopje). This international meeting attracts significant
>>    participation, especially from the private sector and governmental
>>    representatives. AEC’s offer involves having SEEDIG held in conjunction
>>    with this meeting. This will represent an opportunity for SEEDIG to raise
>>    more awareness on Internet governance processes and to attract more
>>    participation from a broader range of stakeholder groups - such as the
>>    private sector and government.
>>    -
>>
>>    AEC is experienced in organising/hosting events of this nature.
>>
>>
>>    -
>>
>>    AEC stands ready to offer their full support during the preparatory
>>    process, with human resources, onsite support, and other forms of
>>    contribution. Given that the proposed location is not the capital city,
>>    transportation is to be arranged from Skopje to Ohrid for foreign
>>    participants.
>>    -
>>
>>    Looking back at the previous two SEEDIG meetings, it is evident the
>>    private sector has been the least represented one. Having SEEDIG 2017
>>    hosted by a telecom regulatory authority might have the advantage of
>>    attracting more participation from this specific stakeholder group.
>>    -
>>
>>    Ohrid is relatively close to Greece and Albania (two countries that
>>    have not been much represented at the previous SEEDIG meetings), and we
>>    hope this proximity would serve as an incentive for (more) stakeholders
>>    from those countries to attend SEEDIG 2017.
>>    -
>>
>>    The Internet community in Macedonia is currently coalescing and
>>    planning Internet governance (IG) related activities. As an example, a
>>    local ISOC chapter is being built, and there are plans for forming a
>>    national IGF initiative. In this context, having a SEEDIG meeting hosted in
>>    the country could bring further incentives into these national processes;
>>    this would therefore contribute to achieving one of SEEDIG’s goals - that
>>    of strengthening the capacity of local stakeholders to participate in IG
>>    processes.
>>    -
>>
>>    It was the first offer received for the next host country.

>>
>> To reiterate, the proposal is to have SEEDIG 2017 held in the first half

>> Thank you!
