Candidate Statement: Acceptance of Nomination for the Position of APRALO Chair
by Amrita CCAOI May 6, 2022

May 6, 2022

Hi Everyone, Sharing below the Candidate Statement: I graciously accept the nomination for the position of APRALO Chair. As a person who works with people and representing the interest of end users for over a decade, along with my experience as Vice Chair and in the past as a delegate from APRALO in Nominating Committee, I have developed a reasonable understanding of the opportunities and challenges which APRALO faces today. APRALO today faces the challenge of reduced participation and engagement of our members especially post the pandemic, less participation of new people in the policy development processes, and a ready pool of potential next to next generation leaders for APRALO. All these and more issues need to be addressed so that APRALO continues to be relevant for end users. If selected by the community for the role of APRALO Chair, I would attempt to focus on trying to re-engage the community more in the APRALO and At Large process which in the last two years has reduced; further enhance the engagement and communication with the ALSes and individual members by keeping them more informed on the various initiatives; support to build a pool of next generation leaders in APRALO which I feel is very essential; and support the APRALO community and At large leadership on the initiatives and policy efforts wherever appropriate. For more details about me you can visit my Linkedin profile <https://in.linkedin.com/in/amrita-choudhury-b0865511> or write to me if there are any questions/ queries.

Acceptance of nomination for APRALO Chair
by Holly Raiche May 6, 2022

May 6, 2022

Candidate Statement. My connection with APRALO and ICANN goes back about 13 years when I joined APRALO, becoming Vice Chair under Charles Mok, then Chair when he resigned. I have been involved in many of the important policy issues of ICANN, starting as a member of the RAA drafting team, then the privacy proxy providers discussions, the WHOIS work and the IRTP-D Working Group. I regularly contribute to the policy discussions of the CPWG, and this past year, become Acting Chair of the Operations and Finance Working Group, leading the team developing comments on both the IANA budget and the ICANN budget. I have a law degree, have taught telecommunications law and policy and now teach Internet Governance. I would welcome the opportunity to continue to serve the APRALO community.

Being nominated for multiple positions certainly shows the confidence and trust you have instilled in my leadership skills to manage and lead in those positions. After three terms as VC, leading the mentorship program as well as representing APRALO in the Outreach & Engagement WG, in Finance & Budget WG and so on, it’s obvious that it is now time to move to the next level which is to become the chair whenever the opportunity arises. And fortunately, that happened this time. However, I can see that others are interested to serve as chairs as well, which is definitely their right to do so and the voter’s rights to select their candidates. Therefore, it saddens me to say this, but I have decided to leave this battle behind at this time and focus more on getting the best candidate to fit the right positions under the NomCom umbrella which is crucial to the eco-system in general. Henceforth, I shall accept the nomination for the NomCom position. One more time thanks for all those who take their time in supporting me and reset assure my contribution regardless of the Tag I have will continue.
