APRALO Elections 2016
by Siranush Vardanyan May 6, 2016

May 6, 2016

Dear AP members, As you have seen in my previous e-mail (updates from our April call) and also from the e-mail from staff, currently The elections for APRALO leaders is open for nomination. You can view the space to see the nominations and eligibility for all. Nominations will be accepted up until 9 May. This is to let you know as well that as part of nomination procedure each current leaders (Chair, Vice-Chair, ALAC Member, NomCom appointee) were asked individually if they are willing to continue and taking into consideration that they all are eligible for re-election, all of them have indicated that they are willing to stand again and are making themselves available for their current positions. So, this will be noted in the wiki space by staff, that all current members indicated that they would like to continue. Meanwhile, all other nominations are welcomed. Best Siranush

My statement
by Siranush Vardanyan May 6, 2016

May 6, 2016

Dear APRALO members, Having accepted my nomination to serve as APRALO Chair for another 2 years, I assure you that I remain passionate and committed to serving another term. During this past term as the Chair, APRALO has grown to 45 ALSes and at the same time we have strengthened our relationship with leading regional organisations - APNIC, APTLD and DotASIA. We also continue to work together with the ICANN Asia Pacific HUB by organising capacity building and informational webinars. For FY16, we have organised and participated in joint outreach events, such as APRICOT, and supported outreach activities coordinated by our own ALSes in their sub-regions. I have personally outreached on behalf of At-Large at local and global IGF events. As well as an already packed leadership role on behalf of APRALO, I also participate on the RALO Secretariat and regularly attend ALAC meetings. I am a member of several Working Groups, particularly to mention some Outreach and Engagement, Capacity Building, Accessibility Taskforce, etc. WGs. Due to everyone’s involvement, partnership, passion and support, last year I was given a community award by ICANN Leadership, which was for me, inspirational, but at the same time it increased my sense of responsibility that I should continue serving this amazing community with even more enthusiasm and devotion. The APRALO Leadership Team, with whom I have had the honour of working closely during the last several years, also provides enormous volunteer time on behalf of APRALO and At-Large. But we cannot succeed without ALS involvement and commitment. Having said all that, I would like to thank all of you, each and every ALS for supporting my nomination to remain as the Chair of APRALO. I aim to continue to serve this community to the best of my ability and with the continued support of a great leadership team. Sincerely, Siranush

We had 5 apologies and 19 community members actually present. A very good turnout. A English transcript and recording is available for those who couldn't make it. (there is a Chinese audio recording available as well).I also would like to give a brief overview what has been discussed during our call:1. There is only one community consultation issue that is still open but closing very soon. The ALAC is asking the Board to consider budgeting funds each year to cater for RALO general assemblies and for a global Summit meeting every 4 years. APRALO is due to hold its general assembly at the last meeting of 2017. We would like to get all our active ALSes to this meeting in Abu Dhabi. Get involved.2. The elections for APRALO leaders is open for nomination. Nominations will be accepted up until 9 May. As part of nomination procedure each current leaders were asked individually if they are willing to cont > in > > ue and taking into consideration that they all are eligible for re-election, all of them have indicated that they are willing to stand again and are making themselves available for their current positions. Meanwhile, other nominations are welcomed. 3. Don't forget the APAC Hub webinars. The next one on 17th May is about DNS Security and DNS Abuse (both important topics)4. We are enhancing our policy on unaffiliated individual APRALO members - that is, those members who don't belong to an ALS. If you have a view you would like to express please do so on the workspace. We want to get the statement completed before Helsinki. 5. Satish gave an overview of our first Asia Pacific School of Internet Governance (APSIG) which is to be held in conjunction with the APTLD meeting in Bangkok in September. Anyone interested in attending the school sessions please contact Satish (sbabu(a)ieee.org) to find out more. See you at our next APRALO meeting in May.Sincerely,SiranushAPRALO Chair > > > >
