Re: [APAC-Discuss] APRALO Individual membership form for review, comments and approval- Deadline April 26 - 23 UTC

I am not interested anymore in becoming an Apralo member because I have been affiliated and lead other parts of this community. But my question is how And why would you become an unaffiliated member? I was first accepted as the individual member of apralo. Then they said I become an observer cause apralo didn't accept indivudal members and didn't have the rules in place . now an unaffiliated member ... Unafiliated member is an oxymoron however you want to define it. Voting non voting member. ... The term just doesn't sound right.

A couple of comments (and I am repeating myself here) First, I think we have captured the main comments people have made. On their interest in public interest/consumer issues, I”d slightly rephrase to have just one sentence asking for their past experience/activites or whatever in representing the public interest/interests of end users. -= then end sentence. New sentence to ask about past/current affiliations - making it clear that we want a clear statement of their interests/involvement in public interest/consumer issues. My other comment - that is a LONG list of topics. Should we shorten it. Otherwise, I’m happy. I think, down the track, we can consider whether we follow other models in having one ALS for all unaffiliated members - but that can wait until we have sufficient numbers to worry about Holly On 18 Apr 2017, at 8:26 am, Silvia Vivanco <silvia.vivanco(a)icann.org> wrote: Dear APRALO members, On behalf of APRALO’s Chair Satish Babu, please be so kind to review the form to become *an Unaffiliated APRALO member*, posted on the following wiki page and also attached to this email for your convenience. https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Rules+ of+Procedures+Review+-+Individual+membership Once approved, this form will be posted on the APRALO website, applicants will need to download the form, fill it in and send it to At-Large staff by email.

Update from APRALO
by Satish Babu April 3, 2017

April 3, 2017

Dear all, Greetings !! This is an update from the Leadership Team. We last met during the March Monthly call/meeting during the ICANN58 meeting at Copenhagen. As you are aware, our General Assembly is scheduled at Abu Dhabi for October 2017, which is slightly over six months from now. >From now to then, there is quite a bit of work to be done and also some important processes (such as selections to leadership positions) to complete. Please note that one representative of each *active ALS* would be invited to the GA at Abu Dhabi (please see below for what constitutes an "active ALS"). Here are a few points that we would like to update you on: *1. At-Large Review:* As you are aware, both ALAC and the RALOs responded separately to the public comment process of the At-Large Review. APRALO took an active role in creating the RALO response to the draft document. The RALO report as well as the ALAC report were submitted towards the end of last month. The RALO report incorporated over 30 contributions from the community. *2. APRALO ALS/Member Survey:* We have been working on a survey of ALSes and Individual Members for the last few weeks. It will be circulated separately over the next couple of days. All ALSes and individual members are requested to respond. *3. Selection to APRALO Leadership Positions:* As already announced, several leadership positions are due to be filled in May. The positions that are currently open are: - APRALO Vice Chair - ALAC Member from APRALO - NomCom member from the region (selection is by ALAC, APRALO can suggest names) - NomCom appointee from Asia Pacific to ALAC (selection is fully by ICANN NomCom) - APRALO Secretary (discretionary) Staff will be announcing details of the selection process in May 2017. Community members who are interested may kindly participate. *4. APRALO Individual Membership Admission*: APRALO has been admitting individual members since 2015. The Leadership Team, during its meeting at Copenhagen, decided to create a form that would be administered to individual membership applicants to collect baseline information. We will be shortly circulating the form for community comments. *5. Planning for the GA*: We would need community volunteers for various aspects of the GA, including Programme, Finance, Organizing and ALS Outreach. We will be putting out a call for volunteers. Kindly participate if you have some time to spare. *6. Identifying "Active" ALSes*: We would like to invite all our active ALSes to the GA at ICANN60. Noting that our last GA was in 2014 (during ATLAS II) and the next one would be several years from now, we request all ALSes to utilize this opportunity. To achieve the status of an Active ALS, we expect that *ALSes participate in APRALO activities such as Monthly Calls, Surveys, Webinars, Working Groups relevant to the ALS, and also update your information & activities at the APRALO web site. *In particular, please ensure that your primary and secondary contact information is up-to-date. In case you have any questions or clarifications on any of the above topics, kindly contact us. With kind regards, satish -- Satish Babu Chair, APRALO
