APRALO response to APAC focuses
Hi Kuek I am sorry for the delay in getting this report back to you. It is a summary of the discussion that arose out of our APRALO meeting following your introduction. 1. COMMUNICATION APRALO is a large region - how can we improve communication between APAC and the regions (including the diversity of end-users within these sub-regions) so that local issues are appropriately addressed and coordinated? Subsequent comments from APRALO members reinforced the idea of sub-regional focuses because our region is so diverse. We do not believe that there can be a one-size-fits-all model that can be implemented across the region. 2. LANGUAGES How do we coordinate the involvement of ALSes to provide local translations of key ICANN/APAC/APRALO documents? A suggestion was also made about translations of resources which could be carried out by ALSes for their respective countries. 3. CAPACITY BUILDING How do we address and prioritise capacity building needs of end-users within APRALO subregions? A suggestion was to identify and share talents/skills within our region for capacity building activities - which could assist with decreasing the costs of outreach. 4. OUTREACH How can we ensure that there is equitable use of available resources to encourage ICANN outreach to the ALSes within the subregions and who need support for extending outreach into their respective communities about ICANN, its role within the internet ecosystem, and ICANN issues which ultimately impact on APRALO end-users ? Hope this is helpful for progressing forward with your planning. Regards Maureen
Maureen, I am very grateful for the constructive work that APRALO is putting into this. We will be looking into this and exploring complementarities and get back to APRALO. At a personal level, I am very excited about such a development.

Hi Maureen, Thanks for sharing the notes. Sorry I couldn't join you in person during the session however I have been following the recordings and am heartened by the interest shown by everyone on this! Many valid concerns and good suggestions were raised, in a very fruitful discussion overall, I thought. One of the follow-ups was for further comments, if any, to come in within a month from the London ICANN meeting. Let's see if there is further feedback, meanwhile, we'll incorporate the points below in our planning at the same time. I will check back with you again on this, and also on how we can move forward with these input. Thanks again.
