Dear APRALO Community, Greetings! It was decided in the ICANN63 meeting at Barcelona that the five RALOs should identify their regional policy priorities through a bottom-up consultative process. The priorities thus identified were to be consolidated at ALAC level and fed into different policy and policy support processes such as CPWG, Capacity Building WG and ATLAS 3. For us at APRLAO, this process would also provide a snapshot of the policy priorities of our members and the Asia-Pacific region. The findings of the survey will be shared with the community at a forthcoming monthly meeting. Accordingly, APRALO put together a group, based on an open call for volunteers, to work on the task of capturing policy priorities from the community. The group has worked hard over the last two weeks to identify topics, create a survey form, and test it out. On all our behalf, I'd like to thank the group members for their time and effort (Details on the group is available at the Wiki Page at https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Hot+Topics+2019). Thanks also Staff for their support throughout this process. The survey will remain open for two weeks (06:00 UTC on 9 Dec 2018 to 06:00 UTC on 23 Dec 2018). The link to access the survey form is https://goo.gl/forms/0fzZSeXTWKUjoXp73 Everyone on this list is requested to take the survey (it takes just 8-10 minutes to complete). ALS Leaders are requested to share the link with the members of their ALS. Please let us know if anyone has any difficulty in taking the survey. We hope that you will use this opportunity to provide us with your inputs. With kind regards, satish
