APRALO gathering in Hong Kong July 25
Hi Everyone, Some of you may be aware, there will be an ICANN Regional Registry-Registrar Gathering in Hong Kong: July 26-27, 2007. These types of regional gathering is intended to be informal sessions that provide opportunity for better communication between registries and registrars. Since the AP meeting original scheduled for October 07 is now delayed to Feb 08, I was thinking it may be a good idea to convene in the interim to set out some of the things to do now that we have formally formed the APRALO. I have chatted with Raj, Cheryl and a few others briefly about this a couple of days ago as well and all thought it may be a good idea to find a chance to meet face to face. One of the areas of discussion (among others, e.g. IDN, new gTLDs, etc.) may be to take the opportunity to meet the registries and registrars informally to understand more about the domain tasting issues. I would like to suggest having an APRALO gathering on July 25 2007 here in Hong Kong. ISOC HK is happy to help arrange the logistics and to host the meeting here. Nick mentioned however that funding from ICANN for travel maybe tight (but not impossible if only for a very limited number...). I would like to see how the schedules for others look like for July 25, and whether there is interest to meet. Thoughts? Hope to see everyone in HK soon :-) Edmon
Dear Edmon, Thank you for taking the lead for this encouraging meeting idea. I like to fully support this effort and by interacting with registry-registeres, we could learn about the substantive issues such as lessons from RegisterFly case, domain name tasting, etc. As for funding, it would be nice if we could get enough from ICANN, but let's see. izumi 2007/6/2, Edmon Chung <edmon@afilias.info>:
