As such, I would like to encourage APRALO Members (both ALS Members and Individual Members) with an interest on IDNs to submit expressions of interest to participate in or observe the EPDP if you feel you do not adequately meet the membership criteria set out below. *You can send your expression of interest to Maureen and staff by 23:59 UTC on 11 June 2021 *(as stated in the announcement below). To support this call for wider APRALO participation in this EPDP on IDNs, I am pleased to inform you that Satish Babu and I are in the midst of organising an *introductory APRALO Webinar on IDNs to help build the capacity of our RALO members to engage meaningfully in the work of this EPDP*.
