[APAC-Discuss] Call to join the newly created APRALO Policy Forum

[Justine Chew]

Dear APRALO colleagues,

In late 2019, the APRALO Leadership Team proposed the initiation of an
APRALO Policy Platform for 2020. After a period of input from RALO members,
the Leadership Team took some time to consider how best to take this
initiative forward given the priorities for the At-Large Advisory Committee
(ALAC) and At-Large Community, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While cognizant of RALO members' challenges in facing the pandemic and the
ever-present risk of Zoom call fatigue, we needed to find a convenient way
to address the goal of *coordinating regional policy-related activities,
including establishing input from an end users' perspective for various
recipients* be it the ALAC, or the At-Large Consolidated Policy Working
Group (CPWG), or other ICANN-related policy development processes (PDP) or
fora.

To make a start on meeting this goal, we are pleased to announce the
creation of the *APRALO Policy Forum*. To begin with, this initiative will
be facilitated using the new *APRALO Policy Forum work space* and
*apralo-policy at icann.org
<apralo-policy at icann.org> mailing list* which will be moderated by members
of the Leadership Team and supported by At-Large staff.

To join the Leadership Team and APRALO ATLAS III Ambassadors in building up
this initiative, please email to staff at atlarge.icann.org your Expression of
Interest to participate and to be subscribed to the new mailing list; and
thereafter, ensure that your Statement of Interest (SOI) is up to date, as
guided by Staff.

Kind regards,

Satish Babu and Justine Chew
