Dear Maureen,
Thank you for the explanation about the mentorship program.
Being volunteer in different local and regional committees need dedication and when time allows, I will follow up.

In this email I will also support the continuation of the current APRALO leadership team: Holly Raiche, Siranush Vardanyan and Ali AlMeshal.

Best wishes,
Nadira

It would be great if all the RALOs would look at mentorship programs, but they are a lot of work and not everyone is prepared, or has the time, to put in the effort. Cheryl has been looking after mentees from other RALOs for years, but this is on her own initiative. We have decided that we want to grow leadership capacity within our own RALO  for lots of roles across At-Large, but at the same time it has to be a realistic look at what that entails with respect to the workloads that are required. But you don't know until you try. So I hope you have applied to take part, Nadira :)

Dear Maureen,
Please correct me if I'm wrong,
The mentorship program is already instituted in some of ICANN constituencies. But among the 5 RALOs, APRALO leaders' mentorship proposal is a pioneering program. Which is another + to the commitments of APRALO leadership to their community engagement.
If this is the case, it would be good to work with all RALOs to come with unified mentorship program.

Best wishes,
Nadira

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

Hi All,

I too support the process, and mentorship approach as suggested by Siranush. This will help groom new leaders. I also wanted to

a.       discuss if it would be useful to put a cap of number of terms a member is elected to 2 continuous terms, as is the general practice (please pardon my ignorance if this is already in place)

b.      get member’s view on developing the process of putting together list of duties and accomplishments of Chair, Vice Chair etc., anyone who is up for re-election, from their previous term. This will serve multiple purposes: bring more transparency on activities, help people decide better if someone should be re-elected, and will help new members who are contesting and also mentees understand the role and requirements better.

Welcome thoughts on this.

Kind Regards,
Rahul Sharma

Thank you all for a really good discussion.

Yes, there must be a call for nominations.  And absolutely yes, we need volunteers and change.  That said, we also need a process - mentorship - so that more people can gain the kind of experience that makes us all effective in the role.  So for those who are putting themselves forward - terrific.

Thank you Marueen,
I appreciate if you can elaborate on the mentorship program and how to show interest for it.

Exactly Nadira..and it is why we are opening up for nominations for those who feel they can step up and lead.
At the same time the leadership team are offering mentorships for those who would like to shadow one of the team leaders for a year to "learn the ropes" for a future leadership role.
None of us took up a leadership role in our first or even second year of active At-Large engagement. Five years down the track, Im still learning. :)

+1 to Fouad, even if no one showed interest for the time being, but will help promote the continuation of the healthy practices of the current APRALO leadership and their sense of community engagement.

I believe the election process should be open whereby a call should be
send out to all of APRALO membership to see if newer people are
interested in the roles available. Given way and giving opportunity to
new is also a key aspect of effective and good leadership.

I would recommend that the positions be continuously announced on the
APRALO list and invite nominations and an election be carried out.
