Meeting Outcomes - September Teleconference
by Rajnesh D. Singh Oct. 9, 2007

Oct. 9, 2007

Colleagues, I would like to share with you the outcomes of the 25 September 2007 APRALO Teleconference. Teleconference details are available at https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi?25_september_2007 1. It appears that Delhi may be the location of the February 2008 meeting. Note this is currently unofficial and could not be confirmed by ICANN staff. A concern raised at the teleconference was the lack of engagement/co-ordination with the AP community (w.r.t. at least APRALO in this instance) on the AP meeting location. Your comments are invited on this issue and where/how APRALO should fit in the planning process of an ICANN meeting in the region (and whether we actually have/should have any role in this). 2. APTLD 'Fast Track' for IDN's in ccTLD's - this has been circulated to APRALO from previous meetings. No negative comments/feedback have been received and the following resolution has been adopted:/ That APRALO support the "very limited and controlled approach"; for an allocation of ccTLD IDN's, as proposed by the APTLD, for a FastTrack allocation of ccTLD IDN's, while ICANN goes through their more extensive Policy DevelopmentProcess; and to vocally show this support at the ICANN meeting LA.' Proposed: Cheryl Langdon Orr & Seconded: Gary Soo at 28 August Teleconference/ 3. ALAC Budget process has begun. APRALO needs to finalise its submission and a call for submissions will be circulated shortly. 4. The next APRALO Teleconference will be a face to face meeting at ICANN LA, with a number of APRALO members expected to be in attendance. Cheryl will co-ordinate time, date and location. The APRALO community will be asked for their input on any issues that need to be highlighted, or that warrants attention. 5. In light of the February 2008 ICANN meeting being held in the AP region, an APRALO WG will be setup to plan/maximise opportunities at this meeting. 6. There has been a request to move the monthly Teleconference time from 0600 GMT to 0500 GMT. This will allow some members a better chance of joining the teleconference. The teleconference attendees supported the change. Community comments are requested on this change. 7. APRALO was scheduled to meet twice next year. Once at the ICANN February meeting and again at the IGF, which is being held in-region and presents outstanding opportunities to meet some of our outreach activities. If the ICANN February meeting is held in Delhi, this does mean meeting twice in Delhi (February and November). APRICOT will be held in February in Taiwan shortly after the ICANN meeting so meeting at APRICOT will not be appropriate. There does not appear to be any other major meeting in the region that would be suitable for outreach efforts matching the opportunities IGF presents. As well, APTLD has suggested a joint APRALO-APTLD meeting at IGF. The teleconference attendees felt that meeting again in Delhi during IGF still presents the best option. Your comments are invited on this issue. -- Kind regards, Rajnesh D. Singh Chair, ICANN Asia Pacific Regional At-Large Organisation www.apralo.org

Support for translation team
by Rajnesh D. Singh Oct. 9, 2007

Oct. 9, 2007

(My last message for today - I promise!) Some time back Nick asked for help in translating (if I recall correctly) ICANN-related literature. I am sure there will be some within APRALO who would be happy to explore how they can contribute. Nick - could you advise what languages you are looking at (or let me put it another way - are there any "APRALO" languages that will be used and you need assistance with?). -- Kind regards, Rajnesh D.

In this regard I request all members to send their views on items they intend us to consider in formulating the next Budget.

Please also let us know the time line for the preparation of Budget. Nick, can you forward me the last budget and guidelines, if any, with respect to the same prepared by ICANN or APRALO so far. We understand that the Budget is for the FY 2008-2009. John, please feel free to contact me on the above email to work on this further. Regards, Nirmol "Rajnesh D.

Using Skype Chat for APRALO interaction
by Rajnesh D. Singh Oct. 8, 2007

Oct. 8, 2007

Colleagues, At the last teleconference a suggestion was made to use Skype chat as a means of communicating. Whilst mailing lists/email are useful, sometimes there is a need for a quicker or more "direct" contact/discussion. APRALO Officers currently use a book-marked Skype chat as a discussion medium. Let us know if this is of interest. -- Kind regards, Rajnesh D.
