[APAC-Discuss] APRALO response to APAC focuses

[Kelvin Wong]

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.

Regards, 
Kelvin

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.


Regards,
Kuek

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
