Thanks, Maureen, for the informative message.
I've made comments on wiki.
Also, if there is no ALS volunteering so far, I'm willing to give a short introduction on Jan.28, when is 2 days before Chinese New Year's Eve.
Best,
Hong

Season?s Greetings to all our ALSes
For those of you who were unable to attend the APRALO meeting on 17 December, there is a set of Action Items that came out of our meeting. These are listed in the Current Issues section of our APRALO home page. On this page which we will update a summary of the action items after each meeting, and providing some information that might be helpful to help you as ALSes to contribute to our regional decisions.
https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/Current+Issues
Please read through the various issues and contribute where you can. Remember that we need your input in order to be an effective RALO, and to contribute to the work of the ALAC.
From my last call to ALSes, I received 5 responses from our 32 ALSes about attendance at the Singapore meeting (Thank you Mahmoud, Satish, Siranush, Narine and Hong J). If you are going to come to Singapore then please let us know who you are, so that we can involve you in our planning activities.
Even if you aren?t able to come to Singapore, please send me a photo if you haven?t already done so (for Beijing), and your favourite photograph of your country as a backdrop to your photograph on our poster. We?d like to have everyone on the poster if possible.
Don?t forget as well, that one person from your ALS will get an invitation to attend the ATLAS II meeting in London in June. Please join an ATLAS II working group, so you can contribute to the planning of that special event in 2014.
Travel safely over the holidays. I look forward to catching up with you in 2014.
Regards
Maureen

Dear APRALO colleagues, First of all, my appreciation to those who were able to join our December monthly call yesterday. Second, during the call we have discussed several important steps to follow up and we need the input from all ALSs. Sorry for the long e-mail in advance, but, please, read all and provide input wherever you consider appropriate within the mentioned deadlines. Don't miss the opportunity to make your voice heard!!! Here are the follow up actions needed: 1. MOU with APNIC.- APRALO will have the whole month of January to send comments. The draft MOU is posted here - https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Draft+MOU+with+APNICIf you have any comments, please, send those to Maureen and Holly during January, after that the final version will be prepared to be officially signed during Singapore meeting. The same process had been started with APTLD, so if you have any suggestions, how you see our cooperation with APTLD, also, please, provide your suggestions to the list. Comments are due to the end of January. 2. APRALO ALS Spotlight - As you all know, during every monthly call we are asking one of the ALSs to provide the presentation about their activities (by the way, this suggestion came from your side and we started to implement it after Durban meeting). During December call NetMission.Asia has been presented by Yannis Li, if you missed that, you can see the presentation posted here: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+ALSes+Spotlight Action: we need volunteers from ALSs to present themselves for our January, February calls. ANY VOLUNTEERS? 3. APRALO Rules of Procedure (ROP) WG Charter had been sent to all of you almost a month ago for the comments. We had the majority of participants of the call voted in favor, but some members asked for a little bit more time for the comments, which is NOW OPEN FOR ONE WEEK - Deadline for your final input is December 27. After that time, the Charter will be considered adopted as the main Charter for ROP WG. The link to the Charter is here: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Rules+of+Procedures+Review... 4. ALAC Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC) is seeking one more volunteer representative from our RALO. We have Cheryl Langdon Orr and Rafid Fatani currently serving in this Committee, but we need one regional representative as well. Those who have background in finance and are interested to serve in this committee, please, send your name to me and/or ICANN staff by December 25, 2013.

At Large Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program, known as CROPP - Ali Almeshal sent a very informative e-mail to this list related to this program. We need to identify ASAP what are the major events taking place in APRALO region during the periodfrom February-June 2014 (we are already aware about APRICOT 2014). If you are aware of such events, which will meet the criteria of the program, please, send your suggestions via this mailing list. To learn more about the program, please, visit: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43982055 6. Singapore Showcase - We are in the process of identifying some sponsors for this, and several people who participated in the call mentioned that already started the works on that, which is really appreciated and needed. According to the suggestions, the Staff will post in the wiki space for Showcase (https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Singapore+Showcase+OC+2013...) the approximate amount for catering budget and other items needed to be prepared for the event. If you have any ideas for the showcase or sponsorship, please notify me (Siranush Vardanyan at siranush_vardanyan@hotmail.com) before 10th of January 2014, which will be prior to the next monthly meeting of Showcase Organizing Committee.
