FW: NOW OPEN: Vote on APRALO Chair Position
by LiJone May 13, 2011

May 13, 2011

Please see the email we sent to the Staff a day ago. We have not heard from them. We are looking forward to ICANN Staff's immediate action. From: joneli1997(a)live.cn To: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Subject: RE: [APAC-Discuss] NOW OPEN: Vote on APRALO Chair Position Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 01:43:31 +0000 Dear ICANN At Large Staff, At-Large @ China wants to draw your immediate attention to the following urgent matter. Our organization had changed the Representative Personnel to APRALO from the end of January 2011 and had promptly notified you. You replied to confirm the recordal of the change. However, we are very astonished to see you still list the former Representative Mengxuan Wu (wu.mx(a)hotmail.com<mailto:wu.mx@hotmail.com>) as the eligible voter on behalf of our organization. Ms. Wu was an intern in our International Department and was back to her school after finishing her internship last year. She cannot and should not represent us any more. Your current voting credential would actually deprive our voting right! We strongly wish you to correct the mistake and send us the necessary voting credential immediately. If Ms. Wu had casted the vote without the organization's authorization, we strongly request APRALO to ignore the vote. Also, you wrongly list our organization's name, which should be At-Large @ China, rather than At Large@China Asia-Pacific. We hope such serious mistake never happen again.

APRALO Showcase - some points for discussion
by Sivasubramanian M May 4, 2011

May 4, 2011

Hello, The NARALO showcase was more like a Key Note Address event. It was a very good show. We could think of different ideas for the APRALO show case. 1) The APRALO showcase could be a visual showcase + reception Centre open for at least two days, like the Verisign Stall at San Francisco. This could be available as a lounge for those from Asia Pacific Region and for guests. We could ask ICANN to set aside a place for us to set up an APRALO stall, which could display photographs of activities of the ALSs in the region, if we have enough to showcase, and if we can engage someone to attend to the stall. Otherwise this may not be a good idea. (The focus during this ICANN meeting is APRALO, but we could also display summary information about the activities of other RALOs, and in the next showcases, the same convention could be followed by other RALOs) 2) The Event - the meeting part of the event - could be so designed to bring together everyone from the Asia Pacific region + guest from other regions, not merely participants of At Large. 3) The idea could be expanded as that of an Asia Pacific showcase organized by APRALO rather than being a APRALO showcase.
