Dear APRALO team, It is my honed to accept the nomination and the support by all of those who send their email supporting me for VC and the other APRALO leadership team for second term. That is a very much motivating and encouraging as well as more responsibilities and work to do. In my past term as the Vice Chair for APRALO I worked so closely with other team member in the leadership to recruit more active ALSs from the region and target those areas that we do not have a representative. Also to reach out to the existing in-active ALSs and see how we can re-activate them. During my term I have participated with other LT in number of outreach events in different APRALO region working on the cross-community knowledge sharing and outreach activity i.e. PICINET in Cook Island, first IGF in Armenia …etc. I am also a member of the ARAB IGF Advisory board and I was one of the members who worked on the first Middle East Strategy through the Middle East Strategy working Group which was done for 3 years. Currently I represent APRALO in the FBSC , outreach subcommittee , CROPP , TTF …etc. Having said all that, I would like to thank all of you, each and every ALS for supporting my nomination to remain as the Vice Chair of APRALO. Looking forward to work with all of you as a team and with the support from our leadership team and staff who have all the expertise and knowledge to share and help us to best achieve our mission.

Dear APRALO members,
Having accepted my nomination to serve as APRALO Chair for another 2 years, I assure you that I remain passionate and committed to serving another term.
During this past term as the Chair, APRALO has grown to 45 ALSes and at the same time we have strengthened our relationship with leading regional organisations - APNIC, APTLD and DotASIA. We also continue to work together with the ICANN Asia Pacific HUB by organising capacity building and informational webinars.
For FY16, we have organised and participated in joint outreach events, such as APRICOT, and supported outreach activities coordinated by our own ALSes in their sub-regions. I have personally outreached on behalf of At-Large at local and global IGF events.
As well as an already packed leadership role on behalf of APRALO, I also participate on the RALO Secretariat and regularly attend ALAC meetings. I am a member of several Working Groups, particularly to mention some Outreach and Engagement, Capacity Building, Accessibility Taskforce, etc. WGs.
Due to everyone’s involvement, partnership, passion and support, last year I was given a community award by ICANN Leadership, which was for me, inspirational, but at the same time it increased my sense of responsibility that I should continue serving this amazing community with even more enthusiasm and devotion.
The APRALO Leadership Team, with whom I have had the honour of working closely during the last several years, also provides enormous volunteer time on behalf of APRALO and At-Large. But we cannot succeed without ALS involvement and commitment. Having said all that, I would like to thank all of you, each and every ALS for supporting my nomination to remain as the Chair of APRALO. I aim to continue to serve this community to the best of my ability and with the continued support of a great leadership team.
Sincerely,
Siranush
