Updates to www.alac.icann.org and San Juan Meeting Recordings
by Nick Ashton-Hart July 20, 2007

July 20, 2007

Dear All: Many of you have requested that we try to have one place where all the various web pages and wikis can be reached from in an integrated way. Of course, we are preparing a new website for the community, but in the meantime, www.alac.icann.org has been heavily updated with: * Links to all the Policy working group Wikis * Links to all the liaison homepages on the ALAC working Wiki * Links to all the teleconference minutes, agendas, and recordings in one place, by year * Updates to the membership listing of the ALAC with biographical information and photos (where provided; some are still coming in) * Easy access to all mailing lists I hope that you find this all useful and that it makes everything easier to find. SAN JUAN INFORMATION While the transcripts of meetings are still being completed, you will find all the sessions for which recordings are available have links to those recordings for you now. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

IGF 2007
by Rajnesh D. Singh July 18, 2007

July 18, 2007

Colleagues, I would like to know if there are any ALS' from our region submitting workshop proposals for IGF 2007? If your ALS is submitting (or would like to), I would like to hear from you. Perhaps APRALO should consider its (and in particular the region it operates in) involvement with the IGF process? The following clause(s) from our Operating Principles perhaps have some relevance: 3.1.2 to promote, understand and advocate for individual Internet users and to provide a forum for outreach, co-ordination and exchange of information and knowledge for persons who live in the Asia Pacific region as defined herein; 3.1.4 to bridge the digital divide and encourage users in developing countries to participate in APRALO. I look forward to your comments. -- Kind regards, Rajnesh D. Singh COO, PATARA www.patarapacific.com Chairman, Pacific Islands Chapter, Internet Society www.picisoc.org President, IPv6 Forum Pacific Islands www.ipv6forumpacific.org Director, Pacific Internet Technology Centre www.pacificit.org 310 Princes Road Tamavua Suva Fiji Tel: +679 332 0606 Fax: +679 332 0800 Read my ramblings at http://singh-a-blog.blogspot.com/

HK Meeting prospective attendees - please read and action
by Rajnesh D. Singh July 13, 2007

July 13, 2007

To all prospective attendees for HK Meeting, As Nick will be away from today, we thought it best that I shepherd through the meeting arrangements as time is limited. So far we have travel support requests from (excluding me): - Kuo-Wei (Taiwan) - Bilal (Jordan) - Nirmol (India) - Cheryl (Australia) ? - Karaitiana (NZ) Have I missed anyone? Could all who have requested travel support come back to me asap (off-list preferred on rajnesh(a)pacificit.org) on estimated return airfare (economy class) from your origin to HK to reach HK on July 24 and to leave July 26/27 (or night of 25 if you prefer and live close to HK). The sooner you can do this, the sooner we can make a decision. As a deadline I need these by Monday 16 July 0600 GMT. As you are all aware, we have limited funds and it will have to be a best fit for this meeting, so we need to maximise on those who can make it based on costs. I look forward to your urgent attention. -- Kind regards, Rajnesh D.

ACTION NEEDED: Interviewing candidates for the ALAC Board Liaison
by Nick Ashton-Hart July 13, 2007

July 13, 2007

Dear Asia-Pacific, African, and European At-Large members: As you may know, the ICANN Board Liaison is about to be elected, for a term from this October 2007 until the next ICANN AGM in 2008. The North American and LAC Regional ALS communities got to meet and discuss issues with the candidates in person in San Juan. If the members of the African, Asia-Pacific, and/or European regions would like to have an opportunity to meet the candidates, via teleconference, I am happy to arrange the teleconference. The ALAC is keen to get the election concluded, and has asked that these teleconferences be arranged for next week - 16 - 22 July. The ALAC has further asked that if you are interested in having such a teleconference, you should respond NOT LATER THAN 15 JULY to your regional list. The three candidates are: Sebastien Bachollet (France) Vittorio Bertola (Italy) - current serving Board Liaison Wendy Seltzer (USA) -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart(a)icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart(a)hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart(a)mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart

I did not intend to indicate that the physical meeting should not happen rather that with some people Hong & Nick already dialling in at some point(s) that any such "candidate for Board Liaison" teleconference with AP should be part of the HK Agenda ...If we believe it should occur at all!!!
