[ALAC] Summary of APRALO Poll on Travel Policy

[Amrita Choudhury]

Dear All,

The APRALO LT carried out a poll (Link: https://forms.gle/gabjf8fshuM7x1pZ7)
with the community related to the Travel Policy in order to find out the
views of our community.

34 people participated in the poll.  Sharing  below a summary of the same.

Do note since the poll was conducted prior to the Pilot Travel Policy being
shelved  some of the responses will not be relevant.

   - 76% respondents supported the APRALO LT position on the Pilot Travel
   Policy.
   - 63% opined that the Pilot Travel Policy should be rejected.
   - 82% respondents felt that  APRALO should have the discretion on how to
   use the 2 travel slots of the RALO
   - 94% felt that APRALO should be empowered to set APRALO specific
   metrics to evolve the  travel policy which is fair and accountable and
   where required people for the meetings are predictable
   - In terms of suggestions for what could be the  2 or 3  parameters
   APRALO should apply metrics on to establish the new travel policy program
   for the RALOs, were:

                Engagement and Participation Equity
                Impact Assessment of Contribution (RALO, Community, IG)
                Diversity & Inclusion
                Incentive to engage
                Prioritize travel slots for RALO members who have proposed
specific session topics, workshops, or initiatives that align  with ICANN's
strategic objectives and interests of the At-Large community.

We discussed the response in our Monthly Call yesterday and decided that
the next step will be to deliberate further in a small group on these
metrics and then discuss with the APRALO community. Will keep you all
posted.

Regards,

Amrita
