AP-RALO completed MoU and OP
by Izumi AIZU Feb. 28, 2007

Feb. 28, 2007

Dear all, I would like to take this opportunity to report that AP RALO formation meeting here in Bali during APRICOt took place today, and I am pleased to share that we have completed most of the tasks for the formation, we reached the consensus on Draft MoU with ICANN, and also on Operating Principles. 12 ALS representative out of 13 gathered here and we put our initiating signatures to the documents, to be submitted to the ICANN Board. We could not complete the selection of new ALAC members and officers, but agreed with the selection schedule, including the nomination starting shortly, for a week, etc. The official announcment should come any time soon together with the minutes of our meeting. As one of "interim" members of ALAC together with Ms. Hong Xue from AP region, I personally feel greatful to all the support and active involvement of all ALS members here in our region, as well as staff support, and also all the friendly advices and suport from larger ALAC friends in other regions and othe ICANN community memebrs. Nom-com designated Siavash did the great job of charing the session of the entire day. Special thanks to Siavash! Well, the real tasks will be still there, and not easy, but I hope we will eventually make rational and meaningful steps to bring the voices of individual users in this region to the ICANN policy process. izumi

Feb. 28, 2007

For those who don't already know this, the African ALS Community finished their MoU with ICANN and it went off to the Office of the General Counsel late last week. The European ALS community will also be meeting in Lisbon and are committed to finishing work on their MoU and Bylaws there - making three (!) new RALOs at one ICANN Meeting. Congratulations on all the hard work :) February has turned out to be a good month for the At-Large community :) -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

I am at the airport now so I cannot give you the word file. What I would suggest is that we do all the revisions to the agenda during the slot on the agenda reserved for such work (Adoption of the Agenda) on the 28th?
