[APAC-Discuss] APRALO Policy Platform 2020: Call for Volunteers

[Justine Chew]

Dear APRALO colleagues,

Following the support expressed at the last APRALO Monthly Call to move
ahead with the *APRALO Policy Platform 2020 proposal*, the APRALO
Leadership Team is issuing a Call for Volunteers to join any of the
sub-groups identified in the proposal document.

*You may wish to (1) add your name into any of the tables listed under the
"Call for Volunteers" section at this Googledoc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W0Luo9HT6_bTKmUcXluSVgZIfPd-x3l1nTDDVnKdM2s/edit?usp=sharing>
OR
(2) let At-Large Staff know which sub-group(s) you wish to join by emailing
just to <staff at atlarge.icann.org <staff at atlarge.icann.org>>.    *

Based on the number of volunteers attracted in the next few weeks, we will
look at how best to facilitate communication within each sub-group (for eg.
setting up and subscribing volunteers to a specific mailing list). There
could also be consolidation of sub-groups in cases of significant overlap
in the work scope of sub-groups.

Interested in Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names? Read
on ....

For starters and by way of an example, some of you will know that the
At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) is in the process of
reviewing the anticipated recommendations of the New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures PDP WG ahead of the release of the SubPro draft final report
later this year.  The process adopted by CPWG is to review a series of
preliminary scorecards on various topics from the end-users' perspective.

Of potential interest to APRALO members are *recommendations with regards
to Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names*, given the
non-ASCII linguistic diversity in our region. Thus, the (proposed APRALO)
UA & IDN sub-group and New gTLDs sub-group could technically join forces in
contributing inputs to the policy development process for subsequent
procedures in respect of Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain
Names.


If you have further questions regarding this Call for Volunteers, please
post them on the Googledoc
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W0Luo9HT6_bTKmUcXluSVgZIfPd-x3l1nTDDVnKdM2s>
or email them to me directly.

Thank you,
Justine
