APRALO elections for Vice Chairship
by Youn Jung Park May 24, 2013

May 24, 2013

Dear all, First, I would like to congratulate Holly on continuing her APRALO chairship. Second, as current vice chair of APRALO filling her previous remaining term, let me share my thoughts on why I stand for this after my six month test drive. My test drive with APRALO has not been smooth one but quite positive at the end. Still learning the norms and culture here cultivated for the last ten years. I, on the other hand, have been associated with civil society working on Internet Governance issues, which I believe can be helpful to APRALO. Starting with NCDNHC/DNSO council member (1999~2002), I have travelled with various constituencies in ICANN including from ccTLD constituency to ccNSO (FYI. My first professional job in this community was APTLD secretariat), UN WSIS CS Internet Governance Caucus (2003~ ), UN IGF MAG (2008~2012), and chair of Local program committee of 2013 APrIGF in Korea (2013). I also serve on the various local committees related with ISOC-KR rejuvenation coordinator, 2013 WTPF preparatory one, 2013 Cyber Space Conference planning one, and 2014 ITU plennipotentiary meeting planning etc. Based on my IG experiences and responsibilites at Korea Internet Governance community, I will be happy to bridge APRALO and Korea Internet community down the road including the upcoming APrIGF in Korea. I understand we have excellent vice chair candidates for this round, which is quite exciting development itself for APRALO. Taking this opportunity, let me also support their candidature. Hope we can have a great journey with all together! Youn Jung Park (a.k.a. YJ Park)

IDN in CCTLD question
by NZMIS Chairperson May 22, 2013

May 22, 2013

Our IDN experts, Hong, Edmon et al. Could someone please explain the issues using U+0027 as a 2LD or higher IDN in a CCTLD? U+0027 is a glottal stop, and is a character used by a number of Polynesian languages including for at least three of our RALO's. Does IDNA2008 apply to CCTLD's or is it only GTLD's ? I understand there are alternatives but how would these work with a standard keyboard? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Urgent - DOODLE - APRALO Webinar on the ALAC role
by At-Large Staff May 20, 2013

May 20, 2013

Dear All, Based on the results of the poll, APRALO members have agreed to re-schedule the vote to select the APRALO Representative to the ALAC (2013-2015) to allow time to hold a webinar on the ALAC role. The ALAC role requires a certain level of awareness-raising and exchanges in terms of performance expectations, required skill and knowledge sets, workload coping mechanisms, etc. This webinar will assist interested individuals and voters to have a good understanding of what is required for the ALAC position. Please complete the attached Doodle poll to schedule this webinar early next week. http://www.doodle.com/45m9534m77xqvr67 This Doodle poll will close on Friday 17 May 2013 at 2200 UTC. The date and time will be announced shortly thereafter. Thank you.
