Celebrating Labour Month – A Glimpse into ‘.jo’ National Information Technology Center (NITC) , Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, وزارة الاقتصاد الرقمي والريادة_ الأردن and ‘.ae’ Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority. General Manager, Phavanhna Douangboupha, recent visit to highlight our member registry.

Heartfelt thanks to .JO (Mr. Samer Tamimi from National Domain Names Management, Mr. Rami Abu-Sada, and their team), RIPE NCC (Hisham Ibrahim) RIPE NCC, and Jordan Tourism Board (Luma Khatib and her team), who effectively facilitated many aspects of this trip. Special thanks go to Mr. Fahd Batayneh, Stakeholder Engagement Director for the Middle East ICANN and a former Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association (APTLD) Board Member ICANN. His local insights and expert opinions provided clarity and precision during my venue search. Additionally, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet with the .AE team (Mr. Abdul Rahman Al Marzouqi and Mr. Mohammed Mubarak, Manager Digital Resources), who, despite their busy schedules, shared valuable insights into their use of AI and their growth in domain name registration.

The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA)
