Hello from Vilnius IGF 2010! Thank you for the update Heidi, I would like to take this opportunity to involve more of our members in broader activities of APRALO and would like to send a nomination in response to this call. I believe that our very active member Sivasubramanian Muthusamy has an extensive profile and experience to undertake such an important role for APRALO and thus I would like to nominate Siva for the ALAC Representative from APRALO. I hope Siva will accept this nomination and represent us in ALAC. On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 7:41 PM, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org> wrote:

I am delighted to inform the list that Mr. Edmon Chung from ISOC-HK has indicated to me via Skypew that he would be delighted to accept nomination for the role of APRALO representative to the ALAC to replace the position being vacated by Vivek in December this year. As a founding member representing his ALS for the region and whose support in his facilitation and supply of our secretariat services from our formation, as well as his experience and high profile contributions as GNSO Councillor (his term ends at the December Meeting so he can transition easily) as well as his key contributions to Cross Community WG's in ICANN responsible for IDN's and of course his pivotal work and contributions to recent IGF regional and main meeting(s) {and here is so much more} I firmly believe he would be highly respected, effective and ideal ALAC representative for our region on the ALAC and one that will further the regional profile and our specific needs in all we do in ICANN and At-Large.

Hello I sent this three days ago, on a different thread to staff@atlarge. I am reposting this in this thread for easy reference: Statement of Interest I have a background in business, but have taken a keen interest in the larger issues related to the Internet Governance and with this interest I have taken the lead to establish the Internet Society of India Chennai, which became an at-Large Structure during September, 2008. I have also served as the Alac IDN liaision in 2009 and attended the ICANN meetings in Mexico and Sydney. With a broader interest in contributing to the Internet Governance process, I have become involved in the ICANN process. Within ICANN, at-Large structures represent the average user’s interests. I have so far represented the average user’s interest as a participant of the ICANN working groups on the Post Expiry Domain Names Recovery, RAA, Vertical Integration and the Cross Community Working Group on GNSO Recommendation 6. My interest is to contribute more to add to the good work done by the at-Large structures in APRALO. With this interest I seek to be elected to the postion of APRALO representative to ALAC, with the inclination not only to represent the regional interests in alac, but also the larger interests of the user within all of ICANN.

I am delighted to inform the list that Mr. Edmon Chung from ISOC-HK has indicated to me via Skypew that he would be delighted to accept nomination for the role of APRALO representative to the ALAC to replace the position being vacated by Vivek in December this year.
As a founding member representing his ALS for the region and whose support in his facilitation and supply of our secretariat services from our formation, as well as his experience and high profile contributions as GNSO Councillor (his term ends at the December Meeting so he can transition easily) as well as his key contributions to Cross Community WG's in ICANN responsible for IDN's and of course his pivotal work and contributions to recent IGF regional and main meeting(s) {and here is so much more} I firmly believe he would be highly respected, effective and ideal ALAC representative for our region on the ALAC and one that will further the regional profile and our specific needs in all we do in ICANN and At-Large.

Personally, I am excited to have a chance to contribute on the ALAC. I very much believe that the ALAC is an important component of the ICANN governance framework and hope to contribute to making the ALAC voice stronger in policy development processes at ICANN. I believe my experience and knowledge of the ICANN processes will allow me to give a greater voice not only to the Asia Pacific at-large community but also ALAC overall. I look forward to talking to you all tomorrow during our monthly call.
