Currently despite our efforts the only locations outside Continental US and Canada we don't have a single US territory as a ALS. The new revised fellowship may change this. We have recorded all the ICANN fellowship for the past 10 years. Moving forward these 15 US territories can apply for the fellowship except the next round which is restricted to only Alumni. Perhaps we can encourage fellowship in those regions we can gain a foothold. Many of the fellows became active, some became leaders and others became ICANN Staff.

With the exception of U.S. VI we don't have ALSes from the other territories, and we have tried to recruit them...
For some of the Pacific territories, APRALO said "hands off" I think
They better not have -- Guam and Saipan are as American as PR and the USVI.

I believe it, but it is not the view of the American reps, and PR is in NARALO because it is part of the United States.
If we separately call out Puerto Rico, we *must* also call out the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan, and American Samoa, since their status as part of the US is the same as that of Puerto Rico. This is not negotiable.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens, they have US passports, and they can travel
freely to and from the rest of the US just like any other US citizens.
There are surely some Puerto Ricans who wish it were otherwise, but the
facts are what they are. PR is part of NARALO beause PR is part of the
U.S., not because of its physical location. Cuba and the Bahamas are
closer to the mainland US than PR is, but they're in the LAC region because
they're not part of the U.S.
On the other hand, if we're going to call out Puerto Rico separately, we
need also call out the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Saipan, and
perhaps Hawaii, all of which are in NARALO because they're part of the U.S.
even though they're physically located in other regions.
