Subject: Updates from today's monthly call and Chair announcement

 

Dear APRALO members,

 

 

Thank you all, who joined today's call, we had really a very good turn out. For those who were not able to join, please, find the time to read the chat and hear the recording of the call, which will be posted very soon here: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/2016-08-18+APRALO+Monthly+Call

 

 

During the call updates were provided on APRALO Mentorship program. Please, note, that Ali Almeshal will be in charge for facilitating the whole process. Cheryl will be a Seniour mentor and we are also in the process of matching mentors-mentees and prepare the full program to run this process. The details can be viewed here: https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Mentorship+Program. We are updating this space by the time the news is there, so, please, follow the wiki space and visit it from time to time (you can also subscribed to this page to receive updates to your e-mail account).

 

 

APRALO LT team is also in the process of preparations for Hyderabad meeting. Satish Babu is leading the process, but we need all APRALO members' support for such an important meeting for all of us. The wiki space is created and updated frequently: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ICANN+57+-+Hyderabad+Meeting+-+November+2016

 

 

With this e-mail I also would like to inform all ALSs in APRALO, that I am stepping down as a Chair of APRALO as of September 1st, 2016 to take the new position as ICANN Fellowship Coordinator. Satish Babu has agreed to step in as Interim Chair to make the transition smooth and later APRALO LT team will decide when and how the new election/selection will take place according to APRALO Rules of Procedures.

 

 

I would like to express my great thankfulness and appreciation to all APRALO members for your trust during my tenure as APRALO Vice Chair and Chair. I am humbled and blessed for having the opportunity of working with you during last almost 5 years. There are a lot of progress our RALO made due to your devotion and active engagement and I am sure this will be continued. Remember!!! APRALO was, is and always will be the example for other RALOs. 

 

 

My great appreciation goes to APRALO leadership team as well, who tremendously supported me during this time. APRALO is in very good hands of professionals and passionate people, but without ALSs' support nothing can be done.

 

 

I also would like to thank APAC Hub staff for wonderful cooperation and support. Looking forward seeing more of this cooperation happening, which I will be following and being proud of!

 

 

I will not be far from APRALO, thus looking forward continue seeing you all and once again thank you for everything.

 

 

Wish good luck to APRALO and please, join me in welcoming Satish, a great person, mature professional and a true leader as an Incoming Chair of APRALO!!!

 

 

Best

 

 

Siranush

 

 

Outgoing Chair of APRALO
