Thanks very much for your comments (and those of others on this
topic). I do have a bit more information now which I can share.
Firstly, during the first day session when the multistakeholder model
in ICANN is discussed, an invitation will be transmitted to the new
Chair of APRALO, Bilal Beiram, to attend and speak from the At-Large
perspective - I do not believe that this invitation has yet been
issued; it is worth noting that we are trying to provide the region
and the community with the latest information about this event as soon
as we can - and in fact in advance of it even being posted - so that
the planning can be as inclusive as possible of the community. We
would of course ask your indulgence as by giving you the 'latest and
greatest' we are speaking about an event that is still being planned,
so some elements may change in some respects as things progress.
As I mentioned, the meeting was organised in response to requests from
various communities for information on the state-of-the-art in respect
of a couple of areas of policy in particular, those being IDNs and New
GTLDs - there is and was no attempt or thought to exclude anyone or
any perspective, but rather the opposite - ICANN is responding to
requests and the meeting is being tailored around those requests. I
hope you will all appreciate this sort of 'demand-driven' response to
requests of this kind.
I understand that Bilal can expect to be in regular contact with
relevant staff as the event's organisation progresses. I hope that you
will all find that the planning in the case of this meeting responds
to some of the issues that the At-Large community expressed related to
the Taipei regional meeting's organisation.
Of course further information will come as soon as I have it.
