[APAC-Discuss] APRALO Elections 2016

Sun May 1 22:19:11 UTC 2016

Thank you Rahul

It is a good idea and is already part of general practice. Candidates
should include their achievements in their statement of interest to
identify the wide level of commitment that is expected at leadership level
- at RALO and ALAC levels. I think that you will be very impressed by all
the activities in which our leaders actively engage in on behalf of APRALO
and At-Large.

I think that you must agree, that for our RALO leader to be given a
community award by the CEO truly reflects ICANN's acknowledgement of
someone who goes beyond the call of duty to do her job.. and I think you
will find that each of the APRALO leaders maintains a high level of
involvement across a wide range of At-Large activities regardless of their
backgrounds.

The leadership team requires members who have that same sense of
collaboration and commitment to At-Large.  We have had a very busy 2 years
or more, but are conjuring up additional time in the day to mentor people
through this arduous pathway :)  We look forward to seeing who comes
through in the end - at the next election round. :)

People who want to be apply for the proposed APRALO leaders' mentorship
programme need to put their names forward to Siranush and as soon as we
finalise our mentorship programme we will notify those who will be assigned
to a particular leader mentor.

We look forward to hearing more from you all.

Regards
Maureen
