Hi Mehmet,
Your suggestion has been noted. Nevertheless, having the event around a MENOG meeting would really depend on many factors, and would need the blessing of the PC. As for having the ME DNS Forum PC as part of MENOG, MENOG is a technical fora, while the ME DNS Forum tackles various aspects of the DNS industry (policy, technical, and business). Hope that helps.

It helps lots of people who are willing to travel to justify their travel and makes it totally worth it. In general, I would love to see this as part of MENOG program, I think there are lots of opportunity to collaborate here.

In February 2014, Dubai hosted the first Middle East DNS Forum. The proceedings of the forum expanded over two days and covered many interesting topics related to domain name Registries, Registrars, and Registrants. The forum was by far a success as it exceeded the expectations of many; including its organizers. ME DNS Forum Program Committee One recommendation that came out of the Dubai meeting was to have a Program Committee (ME-DNS-PC) to prepare for future annual forums, and this includes developing a robust agenda for the meeting, and securing the right set of moderators, facilitators, and speakers/panelists for the different sessions.
