Dear APRALO members, Thank you all those who were able to join our July monthly call. I was delighted seeing many ALSs joining for the meeting. During the call we have discussed several things, and I would like to share with you some highlights. 1. We have brainstormed related the individual members procedure of joining APRALO. We are currently in the process of discussions on the establishment of accreditation/admission procedures for Individual members. The wiki space is created and we welcome everyone to comment how you would see the admission of individual users in APRALO community. The direct link to the wiki space is here: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Rules+of+Procedures+Review... We encourage you all provide your input on this topic. Your comments will be incorporated in the draft proposal which Cheryl will be preparing, based on APRALO Rules of Procedures. 2. During last monthly call we also talked about how you can be involved in the different working groups within At-Large. Below is the list of all working groups currently active with the direct links to every single working group.
