Hi all, Just thinking out loud. GNSO institutes and pays attention to a system of SOI - Statement of Interest for anyone who joins a GNSO PDP WG. Perhaps At-Large could some how leverage on this to extend SOI item no. 4 (ICANN Affiliation) to include "if you are a member of a RALO, which RALO and which ALS do you represent (if applicable)"? I say "leverage" because you may not want members to do up a duplicate At-Large SOI type profile, to avoid double keying-in and/or inconsistencies.

Call for Volunteers
by Alan Greenberg Nov. 14, 2017

Nov. 14, 2017

The first meeting of the Work Track on Geographic Names as Top Level Domains (referred to as WT5) will be held tomorrow, 15 Wednesday at 20:00. Everyone who has an interest in the subject should consider joining the group. See https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-10-22-en for further information and https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesX279zqBZfuxQ9HEuEqJ3NH2p2xNO0jQ… to join. In addition, the ALAC is seeking one WT Member from each region to be the regional liaison to this WT. Although not formally representing the views of the region or the ALAC, the presence of a liaison will ensure that each region has at least one person who plans to closely follow and actively participate, and that the ALAC has at least five people with whom to coordinate our related activities. Anyone volunteering for the position of liaison must be registered as a Member of the WT (see above) and must commit to actively participating. All WT discussions are carried out in English at this time. The ALAC will try to ensure that among the liaisons, we have a wide range of views and positions to ensure that the views of At-Large are heard. Those wishing to become a regional liaison for WT5 should send an expression of interest (EoI) to At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> no later that Monday, 20 November at 23:59. The EoI should include: a) Confirmation that the applicant has already registered as a Member of WT5; b) the region of At-Large that the applicant is affiliated with; c) a summary of the applicant's views (no more than a few sentences) on the use of geographic names as TLDs. These could include (but are not limited to): i) freedom of speech should allow any use of geographic names without permission; ii) geographic names should be fully controlled by the government(s) associated with the regions; iii) don't care about the details, but the result must be balanced to ensure governments are reasonably satisfied and there is reasonable access to geographic names by companies and others. d) Subject line should include WT5 LIAISON. All views are allowed, but the ALAC selection committee and the ALAC will attempt to ensure that all views have a voice. Alan Greenberg Chair, ALAC

Thank you everyone!

Dear APRALO Community, We trust that all travelers have reached their homes safely. APRALO has successfully completed its Fifth General Assembly at ICANN60. The GA was an opportunity for our members to come together and re-dedicate ourselves in advancing the APRALO identity and agenda. We hope that we will be able to engage even better in ensuring that the interests of end-users are heard within ICANN and other IG policy forums. At the personal level, we have now met and worked with one another, and this will doubtless make it easier for us to work as one team in future. The feedback we have received about the GA and related events has been very encouraging. We have identified from our discussion a several action item as priorities and will get back with focused plans around these during our monthly calls. On this occasion, we'd also like to thank the members of the APRALO Advisory Committee who have been a constant source of support for us at every stage of the planning and execution of the GA. We would like to thank our Staff Team, consisting of Heidi, Silvia, Gisella, Ariel, Yeşim, Evin, and Mario, for their excellent support. The successful conduct of APRALO activities during ICANN60 was in large measure due to their unstinted support (at times, even ignoring their own health!). We'd also like to thank the ICANN CEO, the outgoing and incoming ICANN Chairs, At-Large's own Board members Rinalia and León, the ALAC Chair & Members, RALO Chairs, sponsors, partners, speakers as well as the wider ICANN community, for the support provided to us. On behalf of the APRALO Leadership Team, I would like to thank each one of you who were able to participate in the GA and related events at ICANN60, whether in person or remotely. It's been hard work for many of us, but I think you'll agree that it certainly was rewarding! Looking forward to meeting you online as well as at other IG events in the region and outside, Kindest regards, satish (For the APRALO Leadership Team)

The feedback we received about the GA was encouraging. We have prepared an evaluation survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1piN5W3W7CI30dQ9_giHh-SA-eELrc0_6nA5YRmCLBL…> and would like to kindly ask you to share your views on the overall program and logistics of the General Assembly.
