APRALO APAC HUB PILOT FRAMEWORK- Appreciate response by 8 Oct
by Kelvin Wong Oct. 1, 2014

Oct. 1, 2014

Dear all, Thanks for the comments and feedback on the APRALO-ICANN APAC Hub Pilot Framework. There were many good suggestions put forward, and we've included them as far as possible in the draft framework in the link below: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+-+ICANN+APAC+HUB+PILOT+FRA MEWORK Proposed Action During the September APRALO call, one of the follow up action was the setting up a working group for the pilot framework. An immediate contribution of the working group could be to work on the translation and localization of ICANN materials, especially for ALSes located in underserved regions and regions where English is not the language of choice. ICANN APAC Hub has put together a specific set of materials that can be used for this purpose. You can find more details here: https://community.icann.org/display/gseasiawkspc/KISA-ICANN+Language+Localis ation+Pilot+Project. During ICANN51, we hope to provide an update on the pilot framework, as well as any progress on actions, in particular the localization initiative. If you are interested to carry on the work in finalizing the pilot framework and/or on the implementation of the specific actions (on the language localization initiative or otherwise), please do let us know by replying to this email before 8 Oct (Wednesday). Thank you and we look forward to your response on this.

Request for APRALO feedback for the Capacity Building WG
by Maureen Hilyard Sept. 26, 2014

Sept. 26, 2014

Hello everyone It is only two weeks to the Los Angeles meeting and we would like to get updated feedback for our CAPACITY BUILDING WG meeting in LA. Siranush, Yasiuchi and I have just participated in the monthly CBWG call. We have been asked to address the ATLASII recommendations that were assigned to the CBWG. Our main objective is - "Who is engaging with our capacity building programmes and how effective have they been?" We would really appreciate your feedback on the following questions to help us build an appropriate plan for the future, and to provide the Board with some costings. Question 1: What capacity building programmes have you participated in since you became a member of At-Large? Question 2: Did the courses/webinars, etc help you understand more about your role in ICANN? Was there anything else we could have provided? Question 3: (these are from the ATLAS II recommendations) What should ICANN do to: 1. Help you find your way around the ICANN Knowledge Management System eg community.icann.org? 2. Measure the effectiveness of our volunteer (ACs, SOs, ALS) communities? 3. Facilitate multi-lingual engagement? 4. Build a helpful capacity building programme for newcomers? Please return your responses to me (hilyard(a)oyster.net.ck) before Weds 1 October 2014 J. Many thanks in advance. Maureen, Siranush, Yasiuchi.

IMPORTANT: Appointment of members of the Cross Community Working Group on IANA Stewardship Transition
by Siranush Vardanyan Sept. 14, 2014

Sept. 14, 2014

Dear APRALO members, Following Olivier's e-mail on the appointment of members of the Cross Community WG on IANA Stewardship Transition and taking into consideration the limitation of time (I should submit our RALO nomination to the staff already in 3 days), please, let me know whom you would like to nominate from our region, or self-nominate yourself if you consider yourself being capable to fulfill this important role. Please, keep in mind, that this position is really very important, and it will take a lot of your time, so, please, keep in mind while nominating or self-nominating, the time commitment, needed for this role, the reporting back to ALAC, and many hours of conference calls and discussions. The information about this WG is presented by Olivier below. So, please, nominate yourself or someone whom you think will fulfill this role the best from APRALO region by the end of Monday, September 15, 20 UTC, for me to be able to send the nomination name/s to At-Large staff. Best SiranushAPRALO Chair Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2014 00:46:43 +0200 From: ocl(a)gih.com Subject: [Secretariat] IMPORTANT: Appointment of members of the Cross Community Working Group on IANA Stewardship Transition Dear RALO Chairs, As you know from the message below, the ALAC has just endorsed the Charter for a Cross Community Working Group on IANA Stewardship Transition. As a result, the next step in this process is to appoint people to the 5 positions that the Charter has defined as At-Large seats in the CWG. The At-Large Ad-hoc WG on the Transition of US Government Stewardship of the IANA Function ("IANA Issues") has discussed next steps for this process during its last conference call. The "IANA Issues" WG resolved that I, as the Chair of the WG, should write an email to the RALO Chairs asking them to suggest one person from their region, taken from the list of participants to the IANA Issues working group, as listed on: https://community.icann.org/x/OYThAg It was felt that only members of the "IANA Issues" WG would be suitable for appointment to the CWG on IANA Transition since they would act as a liaison to the IANA Issues WG and already be involved in counselling our two representatives Jean-Jacques Subrenat and Mohamed El Bashir in the "IANA Coordination Group". Once you have provided your recommendation of one candidate per region by emailing Staff and me, the IANA Issues WG will ask the ALAC for consent into appointing the candidate into the Cross Community Working Group on IANA Stewardship Transition. I look forward to your kind reply before 23:59 UTC on Wednesday 17 September 2014. Due to the short timelines, if you are in need of any clarification about the process, please do not hesitate to get in touch sooner rather than later.
