The APRALO LT carried out a poll (Link: https://forms.gle/gabjf8fshuM7x1pZ7)  with the community related to the Travel Policy in order to find out the views of our community.

34 people participated in the poll.  Sharing  below a summary of the same.

Do note since the poll was conducted prior to the Pilot Travel Policy being shelved  some of the responses will not be relevant.

• 76% respondents supported the APRALO LT position on the Pilot Travel Policy.
• 63% opined that the Pilot Travel Policy should be rejected.
• 82% respondents felt that  APRALO should have the discretion on how to use the 2 travel slots of the RALO
• 94% felt that APRALO should be empowered to set APRALO specific metrics to evolve the  travel policy which is fair and accountable and where required people for the meetings are predictable
• In terms of suggestions for what could be the  2 or 3  parameters APRALO should apply metrics on to establish the new travel policy program for the RALOs, were:

                Engagement and Participation Equity
                Impact Assessment of Contribution (RALO, Community, IG)
                Diversity & Inclusion
                Incentive to engage
                Prioritize travel slots for RALO members who have proposed specific session topics, workshops, or initiatives that align  with ICANN's strategic objectives and interests of the At-Large community.
