APRALO Policy Platform 2020: Call for Volunteers
by Justine Chew Feb. 17, 2020

Feb. 17, 2020

Dear APRALO colleagues, Following the support expressed at the last APRALO Monthly Call to move ahead with the *APRALO Policy Platform 2020 proposal*, the APRALO Leadership Team is issuing a Call for Volunteers to join any of the sub-groups identified in the proposal document. *You may wish to (1) add your name into any of the tables listed under the "Call for Volunteers" section at this Googledoc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0Luo9HT6_bTKmUcXluSVgZIfPd-x3l1nTDDVnK…> OR (2) let At-Large Staff know which sub-group(s) you wish to join by emailing just to <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org>>. * Based on the number of volunteers attracted in the next few weeks, we will look at how best to facilitate communication within each sub-group (for eg. setting up and subscribing volunteers to a specific mailing list). There could also be consolidation of sub-groups in cases of significant overlap in the work scope of sub-groups. Interested in Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names? Read on .... For starters and by way of an example, some of you will know that the At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) is in the process of reviewing the anticipated recommendations of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG ahead of the release of the SubPro draft final report later this year. The process adopted by CPWG is to review a series of preliminary scorecards on various topics from the end-users' perspective. Of potential interest to APRALO members are *recommendations with regards to Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names*, given the non-ASCII linguistic diversity in our region. Thus, the (proposed APRALO) UA & IDN sub-group and New gTLDs sub-group could technically join forces in contributing inputs to the policy development process for subsequent procedures in respect of Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names. If you have further questions regarding this Call for Volunteers, please post them on the Googledoc <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W0Luo9HT6_bTKmUcXluSVgZIfPd-x3l1nTDDVnKdM…> or email them to me directly. Thank you, Justine ------------------------------------- Justine Chew ALAC Member 2019-2021 -------------------------------------
