[g.astbrink]

Dear Siranush,

My sincere congratulations on your new role! You will be missed by
APRALO members but you will still be within ICANN and that is
something we are grateful for.

We are indeed fortunate to have Satish step up as the Interim Chair.
APRALO continues to be in very good hands!

Warm regards,
Gunela

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

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

please, follow the wiki space and visit it from time to time (you can

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

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
