Dear APRALO colleagues, As I have mentioned during face-to-face APRALO meeting in Prague, I will not be able to be in Baku for IGF in person due to the reasons I have mentioned, but I am ready to support via remote participation, both as a panelist or remote moderator. There is also a suggestion came to me from ICANN fellowship program (from Janice) to be one of the panelists for workshop on Youth participation, organized by DotAsia (Edmond Chung is aware of this) at the upcoming IGF and I also agreed to participate remotely, though it is still under discussion and I haven't received any updates on this. However, if there will be a need for any support from my side, I would be happy to step in, considering the fact that I will be able to support only online. Best Siranush Armenia

Hi Everyone

I am very conscious that, by postponing the APRALO meeting until 31 July we have missed the opportunity to discuss a possible workshop for Baku - the absolute deadline being July 30. At this stage, I am feeling it is too late to get something together, but can be persuaded differently.

I am happy to ask ICANN staff to arrange a teleconference earlier but need convincing that there is a real possibility of not only an idea for a workshop, but enthusiasm and the time for putting something together that looks credible - in 5 days!

I welcome all input - but please get back to me within the next 24 hours if you have not only an idea but an outline we can all discuss and support.

(After the APrIGF, I realised that many of the participants there will also be discussing WCIT at Baku so I"m not sure yet another workshop in WCIT will work)

Thanks

Holly

Hi Holly,

I share your concerns but we may be handicapped by the fact that we don't know who can travel or not as well as the fact that the funding aspect was not clarified but still explained.

Various active stakeholders including ISOC, ICC and various supportive govts are organizing a pre-igf event on WCIT and ITRs and, while browsing through the main session and workshops, a number of others will be doing so as well.

Every year the IGF has a good set of hot topics but this year the pressure is on WCIT and ITRs.

I think we should go ahead and ask ICANN or ISOC to make us a part of their workshop otherwise it may remain a challenge to get in a good audience if we go solo. Can we get clarity on how many people can be sent to the IGF and what is the exact funding amount at hand.

Dear APRALO,

I would like to receive your comments and feedback and thoughts on the content of the email below as ALAC is being asked to co-sign.

Kind Regards, Sala ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl@gih.com> Date: Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 1:24 AM Subject: [ALAC] Fwd: RE: .com renewal and thick Whois-- next steps To: ALAC Working List <alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org>

Dear ALAC members,

please be so kind to find a letter which I have received from Steve Metalitz, IPC, asking whether the ALAC would like to co-sign this.

I will therefore be asking the question during the ALAC call today whether there is any objection to ALAC supporting this letter.

For your information, the ALAC has already drafted a similar statement and sent it to the Board: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/correspondence/correspondence-28jun12-en.htm

...although it focussed solely on the Board's Closed Session to adopt the draft .com Renewal Agreement.

Kind regards,

Olivier
