As a regular reader to CCAOI monthly newsletters, I was assuming that they are APRALO chartered ALS for their inclusion of ICANN update news section in each of their edition, unfortunately form this email thread, I found that they are not. I also second Holly's point of view, that many NGOs need the partial government support to their projects in order to reach out well-established trusted bodies to recruit the common masses as per the case of CCAOI mission. We can also see that CCAOI is affiliated with other NGOs like Digital Empowerment Foundation. Having CCAOI on board among APRALO ALSes is guarantee of an active ALS.

Highly support the application and the work done by CCAOI. I believe Amrita and her team will contribute more to the Atlarge structure ICANN.

Amrita is already an active participant in ICANN and a strong advocate for internet governance within the AP region. I believe that she and her team will continue to make valuable contributions to At-Large as well as other ICANN communities.
