            When considering the middle east its is important to note that many middle eastern countries are in North Africa and some are in the arabian peninsula.  If there can be only 5 regions, then those in North Africa should go with Africa and those like Saudi perhaps in Asia.  However, note too that Iran is closer to Asia but considered an IndoEuropean country.  Perhaps it is not logical to lump Middle Eastern countries together!  Are we considering them 'middle eastern' because of location (not logical) or because they share a language? (also not logical as Iran does not speak Arabic).  What is the definition of a Middle Eastern country to ICANN?
