Sept. 19, 2011

Dear Sala, On behalf of At-Large staff, congratulations on being selected by the members of APRALO as a representative to the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) representing APRALO. Your two year term will begin at the close of the 42nd ICANN Meeting scheduled to take place 23-28 October 2011 in Dakar, Senegal. We are very much looking forward to working with you. If you should have any questions, please contact At-Large staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. So that you will be able to begin to receive messages sent to the At-Large mailing lists, At-Large staff will be adding you to the relevant mailing lists this week. You have also already been sent a password to the At-Large Confluence wiki pages (see: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Advisory+Committee+%28A LAC%29). A Confluence training guide is available at: https://community.icann.org/display/help/Wiki+Training+Guides. In addition, you may find the two attached documents of interest. The ALS Starter Kit contains many links that the At-Large community uses on a daily basis. The At-Large diagram shows the structure of the At-Large community. It is an easy (and colorful!) way to understand the structure of At-Large at a glance. Upon the request of Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, At-Large staff will be scheduling an informal call with you so that he may answer any questions you may have on the position of APRALO representative to the ALAC. Finally, as your term will begin in Dakar, you are eligible for ICANN travel support to participate in this meeting. Constituency Travel will be in touch with you shortly to inform you of your approved arrival and departure dates. Again, congratulations on being selected to represent APRALO on the ALAC.

Nomination for ALAC rep for AP
by Charles Mok (gmail) Sept. 9, 2011

Sept. 9, 2011

Dear all, Concerning the recent discussion about the nomination received from Nimrol K Agarwal of Fouad Bajwa for the position of APRALO representative to the ALAC, I have inquired with staff and confirmed that the time-stamp of the nomination email was 7:33am PDT on September 6, which corresponds to 14:33 UTC on 6 September (see: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20110906&p2=137) The APRALO selection schedule states: “Nominations shall be accepted for one week after the Secretariat calls for nominations up to 6-September-2011.” Charles to state that he has defined “up to” to mean “up to and including” the 6thof September. Therefore, Nirmol’s nomination of Fouad is valid. I have received on Sep 7 an email from Fouad where he gave a clear and concise acceptance of this nomination. Therefore, I will call a vote for the available APRALO ALAC representative to begin ASAP. After consulting with staff, the vote will start on Sep 9 at 23:59 UTC and end on Sep 16 23:59 UTC. Voters will be able to vote for either of the two candidates: Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro or Fouad Bajwa. Staff will contact the two candidates to request they send a candidate statement of between 150-200 words. These statements will be posted on the 2011 At-Large Elections Wiki page (see: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ALAC+and+RALO+Election… ). The successful candidate will be granted travel support to the ICANN Meeting scheduled to take place in Dakar 23-28 October. As both candidates will require visas, staff will begin the visa process for both candidates ASAP given the time constraints. Thank you for your attention! Charles APRALO chair
