    Dear Satish,<br>
    <br>
    I don't have strong objection to this approach especially if the
    pilot for us is only for ICANN59 and I'm not sure that majority of
    APRALO members will participate to this particular meeting. <br>
    But I'd like to know how the results of pilot will be resumed - is
    there any procedure decided for the evaluation? <br>
    <br>
    Best,<br>
    Lianna<br>

          <div>Dear APRALO Community,<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          We have had the practice of organizing RALO monthly meetings
          as face-to-face meetings when they happen during an ICANN
          meeting. This is because many ALS representatives are usually
          available during ICANN meetings, and a face-to-face meeting
          with whoever is present in person (with the rest of the ALSes
          joining in by telephone/Adobe Connect as usual) is a good
          opportunity to discuss things in detail.<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div>As per the mail below, ALAC is piloting an initiative that
          would eliminate RALO face-to-face monthly meetings during
          ICANN Meetings (except for the RALO in whose region that
          particular ICANN meeting is organized. The pilot would run for
          two meetings: ICANN59 and ICANN60 (of course, for us ICANN60
          is the General Assembly, so it wouldn't apply to us for
          ICANN60).<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div>We would like to get the general feeling of the community
          on this matter. If any of you feel that this is a problem in
          any way, kindly let us know. If we do not hear comments, we
          will assume that we are ok with going ahead with the pilot. I
          am sending this out right away because the deadline for our
          response is very short (2 May 2017).<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div>May I also remind you that we have our monthly call
          tomorrow (Thursday, 27 April 2107) at 06:00 UTC?<br>
