Hi Holly, Thanks for getting the ideas flowing! Just a friendly reminder that - as Ariel pointed out - Chinese New Year in 2015 will start on 19 February (see: http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/festivals/spring-festival/chinese... ). So this might make a good theme with perhaps some traditions from this very special time. An APRALO Outreach Event Outreach Workspace is available for your plans (see: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/APRALO+Outreach+Event+Workspace) Kind regards, Silvia Silvia Vivanco Manager, At Large Regional Affairs ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org/> From: Holly Raiche [mailto:h.raiche@internode.on.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 7:37 PM To: Siranush Vardanyan; ICANN At-Large Staff; APRALO Subject: Fwd: Revised Singapore Showcase - brainstroming HI Everyone Just to get everyone's head around doing all this again! The showcase in Singapore was terrific - so we have to keep up the standard. First: Kelvin/Kuek - anyone. We have done the fans and the Lion Dance. Other suggestions? And we had that session that was really informative on tea - maybe a tea ceremony - after all we are in the Asian region (or remember, Raffles High Tea?). Or do we want something from elsewhere in the whole vast APRALO region? (knowing that whatever we do, it has to be available in Singapore) and Maureen - do we still have Emani's stuff - maybe we can update it?? And speeches - can we keep them down to three - Alan, Fadi and Steve. By the end of the day, people have had enough of talking and want entertainment and networking.

The cost is SGD$650 or USD514.88 according to today's rates. I will make appropriate changes in the agenda as well. Just a brief summary: We are planning to have the following items as promo materials/takeaways: 1. Lanyards for all participants 2. Silk Fans for all participants 3. APRALO booklet with ALSs info for all participants 4. Power Adapters for all participants 5. Prizes for quiz winners - 5 bluetooth portable keyboards For show we plan to have: 1. To start with - face mask changing show 2. To end with - Lion dance show And in addition we have catering for 100 people, with good number of canapes and soft drinks. After covering all expenses we have additional about 400 USD to be used. Do you have any suggestions how else we can use them? We decided not to have pins, as they are somehow useless after the event (people used not to keep them). We have an option for using those 400$ for champagne - though not sure how much will they cost and how many we can order with this amount (Silvia, can you, please, check this). We have another option to keep those money for APRALO General Assembly, which we are planning to have in London. So, any suggestions are welcome. Thank you all for a great team work.
