Pacific Youth IGF Track 2017 [Courtesy Update]
by Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro June 12, 2017

June 12, 2017

*Dear All,* *Summary of the Pacific Youth IGF 2017* Here are links to video summaries that we were talking about of the Youth Track. It was also picked up in the host country's newspaper which is attached. We designed case studies on Vanuatu in terms of *Accessibility*, *Availability* and *Affordability*, Freedom of Expression and Local Content. The session was streamed regionally and globally. We ran the track differently and in a way where we wanted to embed empowerment, nation building, infuse a sense of responsibility within the young people and at the same time debate and brainstorm how things can be developed and improved. The youth literally did case studies where they analyzed real time national scenarios touching into infrastructure, competition, stevedoring, energy etc. To see the *Video Summary of the 1st Pacific Youth IGF*: https://youtu.be/lbvuOSKQ8I0 *[6min]* The different sessions had practicums. During the practicum on the Local Content Session following a brief overview of the status of Local Content in Oceania and in select countries and territories from within Oceania, the youth were tasked with creating a song and music within an hour. The youth composed both the lyrics and the music. *Video of Song Produced by Youth as part of Session on Local Content: *https://youtu.be/leV41wcUNV0 We are hoping to replicate this in every Pacific country and then do the same within South East Asia. *Training Core Leaders and Facilitators (multistakeholder)* In preparation for the Pacific Youth IGF track we trained 22 local facilitators. These facilitators came from diverse backgrounds and some helped to facilitate sessions within the Pacific Youth IGF track. They were from diverse backgrounds, that is doctors, nurses, lawyers, policy makers Not all facilitators participated within the Pacific IGF as we only worked with a handful but the mass training was in preparation for when they move to the outer islands so there is a lot more human resources available for when the time arrives. The idea of training the facilitators is to prepare them for when we roll out more trainings to the outer islands that face far more challenges. Some of the 22 facilitators are also through KBC-Elevate being trained under the Australian My Connect Program where 10 of them are being trained in technical training. Given that Vanuatu has won the bid to host the Asia Pacific Regional IGF. *[The facilitators were from the C-WBN and the KCN in Vanuatu whom we had collaborated with in 2013 to submit strategies for development of ICT when the country through the Prime Minister's Office had opened call for input in the Region. ]* We have noticed that in 2017 through actual case studies that were analyzed within the Youth IGF, there is still a need for enhanced coordination amongst the diverse stakeholders. We have yet to release a paper on the outcomes as this will be going to the diverse stakeholders in Oceania and for case studies analyzed, countries concerned. Over the years, some of the things we have done are as follows: - Youth Tech Camp <https://vimeo.com/56494215> - internet governance and mobile app development training in the Pacific [youngest was 10 and oldest was 60] - Girls and Women in ICT <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWAPf5JBZdA> - working with secondary schools in Suva - Fishackathons - with the US Embassy [ high school students and teachers] - Innovation workshops where we have worked with key regional organizations to run training and capacity building to solve development problems in Health, Commerce, etc; These involved these organizations helping us design the problem sets; - Trainings for schools and students etc. - Launched the Pacific Digital Alliance for Girls and Women in ICT [ girls and women in ICT] Kind Regards -- Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro Director Pasifika Nexus P.O Box 17862 Suva *FIJI* Cell: +679 7656770 Tel: +679 3362003 E: sala(a)pasifikanexus.nu Website: www.pasifikanexus.nu

APRALO GA: Subcommittee Chairs
by Satish Babu June 8, 2017

June 8, 2017

Dear APRALO Community, Thanks for the enthusiastic response to the call for volunteers to the four Subcommittees. Staff have captured the names of volunteers and incorporated them in the Wiki page. Please note that we will continue to accept membership requests until 30 June, after which the Subcommittees will be closed. In the APRALO Leadership Team call held on 6th June 2017, we have identified the Chairs of the four Subcommittees as follows: 1. Program Subcommittee (Holly Raiche) 2. Organizing Subcommittee (Maureen Hilyard) 3. Finance Subcommittee (Ali AlMeshal) 4. Outreach Subcommittee (Lianna Galstyan) A tentative list of tasks for each group has been created, and handed over to each Chair. They will in turn be sharing the list with the members of their Subcommittee. Given that ICANN59 meeting is to be held in about two weeks, it is likely that the actual work of these Subcommittees will only start in early July. However, some of the Chairs have indicated that they would like to get started right away. Chairs will be in touch with Subcommittee members for the next steps, starting immediately. Thanks again, With kind regards, satish ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Satish Babu <sb(a)inapp.com> Date: Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 8:49 PM Subject: Volunteers required for APRALO General Assembly (Oct 2017, Abu Dhabi) To: "apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" < apac-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear APRALO Community, Greetings !

Kumar' Subject: RE: Additional Questions Dear Evin, Please find my response to your queries on your mail below in blue: • “Is the applicant constituted so that participation by individual Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries within the geographic region in which the ALS is based control the organization?” On your application, you replied “No” to this question. Since you do have individual members as a part of your organization, please explain in further detail how they influence the organization. Amrita : Individual members are part of the organization and can share their concerns and views on issues which are relevant to them or which affect them. These views and concerns are taken into consideration when we articulate the concerns of the stakeholders at the appropriate forums to get their voices heard and issues resolved. However, Individual Members do not have a voting right. As it is a Trust, there is a Three Member Board of Trustees, out of which one is the Permanent Trustee. The trust has chapter across each state in the country for furtherance of the objectives of the Trust. The trust will have council of elected President and secretary for each Chapter, who will be administered by the Board of Trust. The Board of Trust will frame the rules regulations for the management of the trust. • Does the funding mechanism show dependence on other interest groups (i.e. industry, government)?” It is noted on your application you receive grants from both the Indian government as well as private businesses in the industry. Please provide more details as to the parameters of these grants. Amrita: Yes we are dependent on funding from Government and other Organizations. We have received funds in the past from Government and Organizations such as NIXI for our projects to conduct projects related to conducting digital literacy program in six Indian Languages, Conducting Research, Capacity building programs, promoting domain names, etc. These grants have been case specific and always towards specific initiatives, having clearly defined objectives and outcome. For example in the digital literacy program our objective was to train 20,000 Indians. Hope I have been able to clarify your queries. Incase your query has still not been addressed please let me know, I would be happy to share more information. Also please advise if we need to add these clarifications as addendum Regards Amrita From: Evin Erdogdu [mailto:evin.erdogdu@icann.org<mailto:evin.erdogdu@icann.org>] Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2017 6:04 PM To: amritachoudhury(a)ccaoi.in<mailto:amritachoudhury@ccaoi.in>; kapil(a)ccaoi.in<mailto:kapil@ccaoi.in> Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff Subject: Additional Questions Dear Amrita and Kapil, Thank you for submitting an At-Large Structure application on behalf of the Cybercafe Association CCAOI. I am currently processing due diligence, and kindly request you reply to the below questions at your earliest convenience. The due diligence will then be forwarded to APRALO leadership who, after conferring with their members, will provide regional advice to the members of the ALAC (At-Large Advisory Committee). These members will then be called upon to vote whether to accredit CCAOI or not.

Please note that the attached Trust Deed and Attested Copy documentation are confidential, and should remain so. Responses summarized; email thread below: There is a community of members within CCAOI spread across the whole of India and governance is not confined to just three persons. Funding is received from multiple sources including the government, and is used for projects. There does not appear to be any special dependency on the government for funding (which was the main concern). Government funding is permissible according to the ALAC Bylaws regarding ALS Application (also attached; not confidential). Please note except for your questions, all responses from APRALO have been positive. Please let Staff know how we might proceed with next steps. Thank you again for your feedback!

Regards, Amrita From: Amrita [mailto:amritachoudhury@ccaoi.in] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2017 2:50 PM To: 'Evin Erdogdu' Cc: 'ICANN At-Large Staff'; 'Kapil M. Kumar' Subject: RE: Additional Questions Dear Evin, Please find my response to your queries on your mail below in blue: · “Is the applicant constituted so that participation by individual Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries within the geographic region in which the ALS is based control the organization?” On your application, you replied “No” to this question. Since you do have individual members as a part of your organization, please explain in further detail how they influence the organization. Amrita : Individual members are part of the organization and can share their concerns and views on issues which are relevant to them or which affect them. These views and concerns are taken into consideration when we articulate the concerns of the stakeholders at the appropriate forums to get their voices heard and issues resolved. However, Individual Members do not have a voting right. As it is a Trust, there is a Three Member Board of Trustees, out of which one is the Permanent Trustee. The trust has chapter across each state in the country for furtherance of the objectives of the Trust. The trust will have council of elected President and secretary for each Chapter, who will be administered by the Board of Trust. The Board of Trust will frame the rules regulations for the management of the trust. · Does the funding mechanism show dependence on other interest groups (i.e. industry, government)?” It is noted on your application you receive grants from both the Indian government as well as private businesses in the industry. Please provide more details as to the parameters of these grants. Amrita: Yes we are dependent on funding from Government and other Organizations. We have received funds in the past from Government and Organizations such as NIXI for our projects to conduct projects related to conducting digital literacy program in six Indian Languages, Conducting Research, Capacity building programs, promoting domain names, etc. These grants have been case specific and always towards specific initiatives, having clearly defined objectives and outcome. For example in the digital literacy program our objective was to train 20,000 Indians. Hope I have been able to clarify your queries. Incase your query has still not been addressed please let me know, I would be happy to share more information. Also please advise if we need to add these clarifications as addendum Regards Amrita From: Evin Erdogdu [mailto:evin.erdogdu@icann.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2017 6:04 PM To: amritachoudhury(a)ccaoi.in; kapil(a)ccaoi.in Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff Subject: Additional Questions Dear Amrita and Kapil, Thank you for submitting an At-Large Structure application on behalf of the Cybercafe Association CCAOI. I am currently processing due diligence, and kindly request you reply to the below questions at your earliest convenience. The due diligence will then be forwarded to APRALO leadership who, after conferring with their members, will provide regional advice to the members of the ALAC (At-Large Advisory Committee).
