I should also say that I sent a slight correction although there were typos in my last email as I was rushing, pardon me. *Tiny correction to my early statement:* "The ALAC through the APRALO is the way of doing that" should read "My involvement in the ALAC through APRALO is a way of doing that" On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 4:57 AM, Salanieta T.

Dear All,
Some of you may know that I am also the co-coordinator of the Civil Society Governance Caucus. I have sent them a note to advise them of my involvement within ICANN through the ALAC. This is for your information only.
Kind Regards, Sala

Dear Colleagues,
I am sending this as co-coordinator of this list. I am as of officially 2 hours ago the new Asia Australasian Pacific Regional At Large Organisation (APRALO) representative to the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) within ICANN. This is by virtue of my being a member of the Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society which is an ISOC Chapter which is an accredited At Large Structure (ALS). This is a voluntary involvement and is unpaid aside from travel to ICANN conferences.
I will be able to contribute directly to technical policies and also to encourage people to participate in the development of policies and processes. I am also on record for suggesting encouraging strengthening corporate governance mechanisms within the ICANN. I am not an employee of ICANN and I believe that because it is an organisation that deals with the development of key policies.
I will say that all the policies identified in the Working Group on Internet Governance Report (WGIG 2005) are policies discussed within the ICANN space. I want to be active in contributing in policy discussions to ensure that consumer and end user interests are looked after. The ALAC through the APRALO is the way of doing that.
As co-coordinator, I see it only fitting that I send disclose this. I am also active in trying to build outreach and capacity development within the Asia Pacific in policy processes.
Kind Regards,
