Dear APRALO colleagues, Please find below a number of updates from this past week. Our main web site with the wiki is www.apralo.org . 1. The minutes of the previous meeting have now been uploaded. Available at https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi?26_august_2008 or Under the "Meetings and Events" link . 2. To assist with greater participation in monthly phone conferences and to ensure greater transparency and ownership, the Agenda items for the following month will be able to be added to by all members in the wiki under the "Meetings and Events" link. Also via email for those with connectivity issues. Thus resulting in the whole list of Agenda items being available to view by all of our members. Our secretary Pavan from ISOC-HK will then collate the Agenda items one week prior to our meeting. The phone details to dial in will also be in the Meetings page. 3. The APRALO finance working group has been re-established and include John Fung from ISOC-HK, Leslie Allison from PICISOC (Pacific Islands) and myself - New Zealand. If anyone with relevant experience would like to join the working group in my place, please let me know. I would like to publically thank John Fung for his efforts and dedication to the finances working group. I would also like to thank the former members. 4. Details of all working group members and appointments are now easily located under the "APRALO Officers" link at www.apralo.org or directly here https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi?apralo_officers . If you are interested in being involved with any of the working groups, please contact me. 5. A brief presentation describing APRALO is now available from https://st.icann.org/asiapac/index.cgi?resources or under the "Resources". Please feel free to download and use it as you wish. A reminder that our phone conferences are the 4th Tuesday of every month at UTC 05:00.
