IG Youth Awareness Survey for APAC
by Aris Ignacio May 20, 2022

May 20, 2022

Hello and good day to all! As mentioned during our APRALO monthly meeting last May 19, the undersigned and a student of mine are currently conducting a survey to determine the level of IG awareness of the youth within APAC. This survey is intended primarily for the youth ages 16-32 who are students, young professionals or as applicable. In line with this, we would like to request your assistance with the approval of our APRALO leaders, to hopefully share it to your respective ALSes especially to youth leaders and members to participate in this endeavor. Rest assured that once we have finalized the results of the survey, it will be shared to one of the APRALO monthly meetings and or through this mailing list. The survey can be accessed through this link: https://bit.ly/IGYouthSurvey The survey will be open up until May 25, 2022 at 1559 UTC. Thank you very much and looking forward for you and your ALSes' assistance and participation. Much appreciated. Yours truly,Aris Ignacio

APRALO Policy Forum to pursue new initiatives for 2022
by Justine Chew May 20, 2022

May 20, 2022

Dear APRALO colleagues, Following yesterday's APRALO May 2022 call <https://community.icann.org/x/zgfCCw>, we wanted to let you all know that the APRALO Policy Forum (APF) had a planning meeting on 13 May 2022 <https://community.icann.org/x/HwbCCw> where a series of new initiatives were mooted and agreed to be pursued. These initiatives were developed with reference to the RALO-endorsed APF Survey #2.2021 Result and Guide <https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/2022-02-17+APRALO+Monthly+Teleco…> which had proposed for us to concentrate on the areas of *Universal Acceptance (UA) *and *Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)* by establishing specific opportunities for participation and identifying action items to take forward. Specifically noted also was the need to find new ways to simplify engagement, allow for ease of understanding, increase discussion opportunities, in support (and avoidance of duplication) of At-Large-wide efforts undertaken within the At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG). In brief, the new initiatives will be developed further, under several categories of activities, with more details to be released (or reported on) progressively. They are: 1. APF Universal Acceptance - Partnership Events Program, led by Satish Babu 2. APF Fireside Chats Program, led by Justine Chew 3. A Public Session on UA at ICANN75, to be coordinated by Satish Babu 4. A Public Session on IDNs at ICANN75, the feasibility of which is to be looked into by Justine Chew and subject to available outputs of the At-Large End User Survey on IDNs (which is being steered by an At-Large team outside the APF) The new initiatives will complement ongoing projects by APF, namely the Register of Skills & Interests (Project RoSI) and the Hot Topics Survey 2022 Project. Another ongoing initiative, although not under the APF banner, is of course, the APRALO Mentoring Program. Please contact At-Large Staff if you aren't already a member of the APRALO Policy Forum <https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Policy+Forum> and wish to join, or if you would like to participate in the development of any of these new initiatives. At this point, we are pleased to inform that we are moving to launch the APRALO Policy Forum Fireside Chats Program very soon with the *inaugural chat "Let's Talk about GNSO PDP 3.0"*. Please do look out for a separate announcement and invitation to speak informally with our identified guest, *Cheryl Langdon-Orr*, then. Kind regards, Satish Babu and Justine Chew Co-Chairs, APRALO Policy Forum <https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Policy+Forum>
