APRALO General Assembly during ICANN Delhi - comments required from ALS'
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/61c431e3c0ec6749ff9bc1b7c753c0af.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Colleagues, It has been suggested that APRALO hold its General Assembly on Saturday February 9th 2008 to allow the ALAC and Secretariats to meet on the 10th. ICANN will arrange 1 delegate per ALS to attend the meeting. As such, I would like your comments on whether this would suit you, as it does mean arriving a bit earlier than you normally would - probably on the 7th or 8th, depending on your point of origin and flight availability. The other option is to hold the GA on Monday 11th, but this has some potential conflict with another ALAC meeting. I would appreciate your comments by Friday 7th December to enable the planning and logistics to proceed in a timely manner. -- Kind regards, Rajnesh D. Singh Chair, ICANN Asia Pacific Regional At-Large Organisation www.apralo.org

Thanks for your information. As you might know, Feb. 7 is Chinese New Year. The holiday is from 2/6~11. I will try to find out who can join the meeting. Thanks. Kuo Wu On Dec 5, 2007 3:24 PM, Rajnesh D. Singh <rajnesh@pacificit.org> wrote:

Oh no, I didn't realize the Chinese New Year crashes with ICANN meeting. This may impose travel restrictions, too, unless we book the flight early enough. For those who are outside Asia, Chinese New Year is equal to or perhaps bigger than the Christmas, many overseas Chinese people visit their home or family re-union across the region and beyond. (The Japanese new year is same as the calender year, and many also go to overseas for holiday tour, but most of the family re-union take place within the country unlike Chinese). izumi Thanks.

Does that mean we do the GA on the 11th instead of trying for the 7th or 8th?

All the more reason we must have ICANN book our travel arrangements as soon as possible as also Raj has pointed out that this time of year is horrendously busy in India as well...
Naturally we will have remote attendance options as well but as this is the much delayed 'inaugural event for APRALO' with our signing etc., etc., we really should have maximum participation facilitated in any way possible by ICANN... In my opinion, at least...
Nick it might be important to let the ICANN travel staff know as soon as possible, about these other , competing interests for travel to this meeting effecting us in this region, so they can be forewarned and I assume find best ways to solve potential problems **early** ( you may now count this email as today's rant to you from CLO regarding ICANN meeting arrangements ;-) so please pass it on to those who need to know...

Oh no, I didn't realize the Chinese New Year crashes with ICANN meeting. This may impose travel restrictions, too, unless we book the flight early enough.
For those who are outside Asia, Chinese New Year is equal to or perhaps bigger than the Christmas, many overseas Chinese people visit their home or family re-union across the region and beyond.
(The Japanese new year is same as the calender year, and many also go to overseas for holiday tour, but most of the family re-union take place within the country unlike Chinese).

What Kuo-wei said is very true. ICANN's Asian meeting should take into account the Asian tradition and culture. For many East-Asia and South-East-Asia Countries, Lunar New Year is as important as, if not more important than, Christmas. If it is totally inconceivable for ICANN to arrange a meeting overlapping with Christmas, it must be very culturally unthoughtful to make the meeting clashing with the Lunar New Year.

Thanks Nick, At least a great effort may be required - not only for AtLarge people, but for ALL potential participants - to outreach, help them participate, practical supports etc - given the adverse situation - and to the local host of India - who may likely be not too familiar with "Chiense" new year. It is NOT really "chinese" per se, but more of South-East Asian. I am concerned the delay of invitation letter from Indian host. Now Western Christmas season is coming... things are slowing down. I had my own experience of announcing fellowsihp program at the end of November, for mid-Janauary int'l meeting in Tokyo, to call for application, evaluate them, from almost ALL Asia Pacific countries and economies, arrange visas and send tickets, mostly to the people in LDCs such as Cambodia, Bangladesh, Solomon Islands etc, where Visa to Japan may take months... We were lucky since the host was our government, the Min of foreign affairs sent special telegram to all consulate offices to give fast track. Still, I lost all of my personal holidays from Christmas and New year's days, to work on the process logisiticall - that was for WSIS Tokyo regional meeting in 2003. AND that was outside Chinese New Year which, as Hong wrote, is perhaps more signigicant than Christmas. So, please flag as much as possible to ICANN staff, travel agent and Indian host and the outside community. izumi 2007/12/6, Nick Ashton-Hart <nick.ashton-hart@icann.org>:

I was so naiive - not to consider Chinese New Year directly in conflict with ICANN New Delhi meeting when announced. As former member of APRICOT organizing committee, and APRICOT has longer history than ICANN, we always set the dates not to crash with Chinese New Year as a matter of first priority. I trusted ICANN and its meeting commitee - especially since they intentionally moved the date/locale of AP meeting from 2007 Fall to 2008 Spring. Big sigh. Well, let's be pragmatic at this stage - I will try to find airline booking situation from Tokyo to India. izumi 2007/12/6, Cheryl Langdon-Orr <cheryl@hovtek.com.au>:

Dear Raj, Yesterday, I talked with Mr. Charles Mok, the Chairman of ISCO Hong Kong, regarding preparation of the AGM in New Delhi. Per our consensus after Bali meeting, it is the ISCO Hong Kong that is APRALO's secretariat. Charles has agreed to arrange the issue immediately along with Edmund and other colleagues. I guess New Delhi AGM should be a important issue on our agenda for next conference call. Also, I sent our my draft comment on NomCom review as required at our LA meeting but haven't heard any feedback. Hong On 12/5/07, Rajnesh D. Singh <rajnesh@pacificit.org> wrote:
Colleagues,
It has been suggested that APRALO hold its General Assembly on Saturday February 9th 2008 to allow the ALAC and Secretariats to meet on the 10th.
ICANN will arrange 1 delegate per ALS to attend the meeting. As such, I would like your comments on whether this would suit you, as it does mean arriving a bit earlier than you normally would - probably on the 7th or 8th, depending on your point of origin and flight availability.
The other option is to hold the GA on Monday 11th, but this has some potential conflict with another ALAC meeting.
I would appreciate your comments by Friday 7th December to enable the planning and logistics to proceed in a timely manner.
