The main reason for me to stand up for the election of *VICE CHAIR APRALO* is because I think we need to bridge that gap and bring in more *DIVERSITY * and *YOUNG ENERGY *. As you all may know, I was a coach for the ICANN 61 and during the fellowship session I had talked about *ENGAGEMENT* and *YOUTH LEADERSHIP * and about how we all can engage in various constituencies. I also talked about my engagement and experience of ICANN60, APRALO and At-large. I had referred 7 or 8 fellows to session of At-large. Few of them attended and got back to me with a message why there aren’t youth leaders in At-large and APRALO. I told them I am part of at the APRALO and At-Large and they told me there were very limited interaction and very few people youth leaders. I had no answers. As soon as I returned I suggested few recommendations to prominent At-Large leaders but till now I am waiting for my reply. The whole *ICANN Community *is currently more focused on the part of *ENGAGEMENT* and how we will address and bring in more young leaders to policy development process. My engagement in Asia pacific region can certainly help create better collaboration and association with the youth leaders. * I would also like to thank Gunella for supporting me and I would also take this opportunity to thank all the people who have supported me indirectly.* Regards, *_____________________* *Shreedeep Rayamajhi**RAYZNEWS.com <http://www.rayznews.com/>* 00977-9841374547(Nepal) 00977-9851049683(Nepal) 00977-9813900099 https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/Rayznews https://icannwiki.org/Shreedeep_Rayamajhi https://www.linkedin.com/in/shreedeeprayamajhi http://shreedeeprayamajhi.com.np/ +1(301)485-9395(US) <http://www.rayznews.com> *DISCLAIMER:* This message is intended only for the recipient.
