Dear APRALO colleagues, As I said earlier, I would like to speak out again (because of the new dates and rules), that I support Maureen's and Fouad's (which is expected to come soon as he mentioned) self-nominations for ALAC representative. Dear Maureen, great explanation and understanding of this role, posted in Wiki. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. What related to Vice Chairing nominations, first of all I would like to thank all people who nominated me and supported my candidacy. I also would like to join in congratulations to Holly for being reelected with acclamation for a Chair position. You are a great leader and facilitator, who makes this diversified group unified one. I also would like to congratulate all nominees for Vice Chairing position, including myself :) and share my agreement with YJ, that this is a real development for APRALO region. And here a brief statement from my side about my development story with ICANN and why I want to step into this important role: Since 2007 I has been actively involved in Internet Governance issues. I am a Diplo Foundation Alumni, being a part of on Capacity Building Program on Internet Governance in 2007, participated in the First European Summer School on Internet Governance. In 2008 I was one the members of Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) Nomination Committee for Multistakeholder Advisory Committee (MAG). I am involved in ICANN activities since 2008, when I received my first ICANN fellowship for ICANN New Delhi meeting. After that I participated in ICANN Paris meeting (on my own) and then received three more fellowships for ICANN Cairo, Sydney and Singapore meetings. Being already an ICANN Fellowship program Alumnus, I am currently mentoring the newcomers, I was also one of the presenters to the fellows during Sydney meeting. Being an ISOC Global member I was a part of IGF 2010 as ISOC Ambassador for IGF 2010 and IGF 2011 as ISOC Returning Ambassador. In February 2013 I was elected to serve in ISOC Armenia Board member. I also was the remote panelist during IGF 2012 in Baku, where I presented ICANN Fellowship program.In 2011-2012 I was nominated to be the At-Large Delegate for ICANN Nomination Committee member nominated from Asia Pacific and Australia region. And I was re-nominated for this position for current year (2012-2013), which was a real chance to learn more about ICANN from inside. My situation within ICANN somehow differs from many of you. During all those years I was involved as an individual member, due to the geographic challenges which Armenia has as a country within ICANN structure. I am so called "intermediary" between Europe and Asia, which while being from one hand challenging, on the other hand a learning process and enriched my knowledge on both regions' activities. And in many cases my fluency in English and Russian languages helped me to serve as "intermediary". Since November 2012 I am officially representing Armenian Association for the Disabled Pyunic as a certified ALS in APRALO region, while continuing to participate in some EURALO activities, such as monthly calls, discussions on Individual members ALS, as well as participating in EuroDIG activities, by organizing Armenian hub and ensure participation of my country representatives there. I am a part of several working groups in ICANN At-Large, such as WG on geographic regions, WG on ICANN Academy, WG on Capacity Building, as well as ATLASII committee member. Having said all this, I would like to highlight one point, that I am still in a learning process, I continue to learn every day. There is so rapid development not only in Internet in general, but in day-to-day discussions within ALAC and At-Large community, including discussions on the level of regions, ALSs and working groups. And finally, I would like to highlight the most important point here, that all the work within At-Large is a joint efforts, and if I am elected for the Vice Chair position, I will continue learning from all of you and will for sure need your support and joint efforts to achieve the goals of internet users all over the world to have safer Internet for all of us. Thank you very much and sorry for the long message. Sincerely, Siranush Vardanyan ICANN NomCom from APRALO region

Hi Everyone
First, thank you to Olivier and Rinalia for their participation in the webinar and thank you all for attending. It was a very useful discussion.
Next, for those who would like to nominate, it would be helpful for all of us if, when nominated (and you can self-nominate) you could put a brief statement of why you want to be an ALAC rep, and a short CV - so those who do not know you can be informed. (ask Silvia/Matt to put the information on the same page)
Next - Silvia and Matt: Would you please update the page, with the revised dates. Also, it would be very useful for all of us to have the slides OLC used, plus the Adjunct document on what is expected of an ALAC representative on the same page. (link below)
Thank you again everyone
Holly

Dear all,
First, I would like to congratulate Holly on continuing her APRALO chairship. Second, as current vice chair of APRALO filling her previous remaining term, let me share my thoughts on why I stand for this after my six month test drive.
My test drive with APRALO has not been smooth one but quite positive at the end. Still learning the norms and culture here cultivated for the last ten years.
I, on the other hand, have been associated with civil society working on Internet Governance issues, which I believe can be helpful to APRALO. Starting with NCDNHC/DNSO council member (1999~2002), I have travelled with various constituencies in ICANN including from ccTLD constituency to ccNSO (FYI. My first professional job in this community was APTLD secretariat), UN WSIS CS Internet Governance Caucus (2003~ ), UN IGF MAG (2008~2012), and chair of Local program committee of 2013 APrIGF in Korea (2013).
I also serve on the various local committees related with ISOC-KR rejuvenation coordinator, 2013 WTPF preparatory one, 2013 Cyber Space Conference planning one, and 2014 ITU plennipotentiary meeting planning etc.
Based on my IG experiences and responsibilites at Korea Internet Governance community, I will be happy to bridge APRALO and Korea Internet community down the road including the upcoming APrIGF in Korea.
I understand we have excellent vice chair candidates for this round, which is quite exciting development itself for APRALO. Taking this opportunity, let me also support their candidature.
Hope we can have a great journey with all together!
Youn Jung Park (a.k.a. YJ Park)

Hi Everyone
The agenda for next week's call has not been finalised - so what I want is your input as to what should be on the agenda so it can be.
My suggestions are: - finances: While input into the budget on expenditure up to the end of October is well and truly closed, there is a brief window to consider what we might ask for for expenditure after November 2013. (Both the regional and global IGFs will have been held. Is there something else we could do - possibly including something at the June London meeting just for APRALO?
- Applications for fellowships for Durban - should we be encouraging people to apply - whom and how?
- Having looked at other RALOs, there are subcommittees on Outreach and Capacity Building. Should we do the same - and are there any hands up?
- Elections. I note that people are already providing information on themselves and why they could represent us on ALAC. I am happy to see the input - even if the nominating period doesn't start until next week. So for those who are confused about timelines, so am I. But the interest of all of you is a very good thing - and I encourage everyone (having decided that there has been a de facto expansion of the timeline) to consider - for themselves or someone else - our next ALAC rep.
- Policy. Please check out the policy page on the ICANN site (ICANN - groups - ALAC - policy) and let me know if there are particular issues that should be discussed in a bit more detail. I hope Oliver will be able to give a brief overview of policy issues before us. Please let me know if there are particular issues we should spend a bit more time on (I know Hong and Rinalia have plenty to say on IDN variants and some of the implications of the Trade Mark Clearing House issues arising from the new gTLDs (but also, as Hong has pointed out, ccTLDs as well)
Look forward to hearing from you all.
Holly
