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.
