We will still need the leadership of the chair and I think it is to the benefit of the whole apralo community to continue to have Hong's active participation, and I hope sincerely that Hong will consider again to continue her service as chair, for the great leadership she has provided and for the best continuity of apralo altogether!!

Since my term as the Chair will expire on or before June 1, 2011 and it should be the new Chair elected to be at the Showcase , it would be most appropriate for the two Vice Chairs to take over the whole organization issues from me right now and lead the Organization Committee. Therefore, they would take actions as stated in their messages. I wish all the ALS cordially support both VCs to ensure the huge success of the event. My own suggestions have all been presented on the list. It is all up to the community to decide whether to accept. I hope we keep the whole process, from the beginning to the end, completely transparent. Regards Hong p.s. I have suggested the election process to replace the Chair commerce asap.

Agree with Fouad on (1,2) below.
I think we can solicit our more active ALSs in the regions to ask them to participate/speak. For ISOC-HK, I believe we will have someone there anyway.

Hi Hong,
I did initiate discussions with potential sponsors in SF. I had also read the message and as I returned on the 24th, I am amidst a bit of work and tending to some family related things and am on the same page with you.
AT the moment we may want to address the following issue:
1. Do all ALS's know what an APRALO ALS Showcase is? We should send out a small brief about the showcase.
2. Date and time slot for the Showcase.
3. Keynote Speaker: are the possible names well known throughout the APRALO community or should we only opt for a speaker known to one part of the community? I mention this because usually showcases have keynote speakers well known across the community.
4. Should we first take commitments from the most active ALS's and then move towards the silent ones?
Best

Dear All,
So far I only heard on the list from Ms. Vandanya, who is not affiliated with any ALS in APRALO, that she would like volunteer to join the Committee. I'm surprised by the low interest in the community on such an important issue.
One inspiring news is that Prof. Ang Peng Hwa, a professor of Singapore Nanyang Technology University, member of UN WGIG and leading expert on IG from AP region, has kindly agreed to reschedule his busy trip to be able to join us at the Showcase. May I suggest Prof. Ang be a keynote speaker?
Looking forward to hearing from you
Hong

Dear Colleagues,
At APRALO meeting on March 15, 2011, a number of action items have been
set
out. The minutes and action items will be circulated by the Secretariat soon.
There is one action that is pretty pressing. As all four RALOs did at ICANN meetings in the respective regions, APRALO is going to organize a Showcase at ICANN Singapore Meeting in June 2011, which will be a very important outreach to AP Region and the whole ICANN community.
Given the importance of the event, one organization committee will be set up. All the members of APRALO is strongly encouraged to participate in organization. A member ALS that is interested in joining the organization committee should send an email to the list stating:
ALS Name, Contact Person and Responsible Areas in the organization.
All the members of the committee must be responsible for the following one or more areas:
a) Budget planning
b) Program setting
c) Outreach/in-reach
d) Logistic support (liaison with staff)
e) Financial support (seeking sponsorship)
The committee should select a Chair to report to APRALO monthly (March to June).
Looking forward to your participation!
Hong
