Thank you, Hong. We will inform the applicant that it is unfortunately not currently possible to choose the region they would like to join. According to ICANN's geographic regions, IPAC is part of the APRALO region (see full list under: http://www.icann.org/en/meetings/montreal/geo-regions-topic.htm). ICANN's Geographic Regions Working Group has done an extensive review on the current geographic model and has recently published its Latest Draft Interim Report (see http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-28may10-en.htm#foot3) Cheryl represents At-Large in the Geographic Regions WG along with Carlton Samuels.

Thanks for sending us the ALS application to the list. I've a question: if we take a look at Objective part Q.3, it seems that the applicant is based in Europe and interested in joining EURALO. Did I overlook anything?
