Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Hi Kelvin
Gisella Gruber:Yannis Li has joined the call
Siranush Vardanyan:welcome, Yannis
Maureen Hilyard:Love the idea of a poster display... images of our cultural diversity
Holly Raiche:I think that was Mexico - where each RALO in AP RALO had a table to showcase their own RALO???
Silvia Vivanco:@ Siranush and all, can you get a headcount of APRALO ALses travelling to Singapore ?
Silvia Vivanco:We need to think of our audience (our ALSes and any other interested)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Yes few may attend but we can Display on their behalf
Holly Raiche:They won't this time
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:and the take "home" message of the cards can be unified and still quite useful as a Diversitry reference
Holly Raiche:I still think we need something happening - not necessarily dancing but ..
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:My problem with any of the ceremonies is the size of the audience than cn reasonabky see it at any timw
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:we casn set upo stations and "show" smaller groups... but for 60+ people prefer stations and ad hioc
Holly Raiche:@CLO - point taken - but we managed with the Lion Dance - and could with others
Alan Greenberg:@Cheryl Trouble monger!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:We could aim for sme sort of Demonstration for each of the 'sub - regions'
Holly Raiche:If we have tables - people can watch diferent things
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:also possible to show vidio on even a laptop / screen for some ceremonies / demonstrations even if we don't get people to demosnstrate on site'
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Exactly Holly
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:different parts of the room
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:get people to travel around
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:the displays could even be more static and run oin auto
Holly Raiche:Wha we did at the Fayre wasone big table
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:You mean a long central table?
Maureen Hilyard:i think there will be enough of us there to set something up, on tables, on walls, on laptops.. people can be flexibel depending on what they want to do
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: deoends on the roonm allocation often we have to use a meeting room and changing the fitt out is not going to happen
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:But it is Lunar fetiuvals for LOT of ur coubties
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Nuie and NZ AU and beyond all do tuff inb this timw of year
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:well show the vidio (or another on Holly)
Maureen Hilyard:I am going to Fiji at the end of the month, - so I can get lots posters of different Pacific ALS islands even if they can't come themselves.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Perfect Maureen
Ali AlMeshal:I agree with Holly
Silvia Vivanco:@ all see this http://www.chinatownology.com/chinese_theatre_circle.html
Maureen Hilyard:Yes.. I agree Holly.. I like the idea of learning more about the culture - Chinese New Year and what are the main beliefs that underpin their celebration
Pavan Budhrani:yannis seems to be having some technocal issues, she sends her apologies
Siranush Vardanyan:ok, Pavan
Heidi Ullrich:Mary's mother has an education opera association in Singapore and is well known
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Yes I am happy with that s a "performance aspect...
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:we might even use red material or crepe paper to connect
Holly Raiche:The next question is what is locally available and affordable
Maureen Hilyard:Exactly..
Maureen Hilyard:Hi Kelvin
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:YUP
Siranush Vardanyan:agree, Holly
Silvia Vivanco:I meant to mention as well we have 1200 $ in our budget for this showcase
Alan Greenberg:Affordable often translated into who will sponsor it. (that was the only way the the performance we had in LA came about).
Silvia Vivanco:I will note it down
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:if I am in Malaysia I expect local peformance I am in Singapore for ICANN 52
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:OK if we can state it is LOCAL
Holly Raiche:WE had no trouble with APNIC as a sponsor - but we need a budget first
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:otherwise other part ofd the Region wonder why not their performance efforts
Holly Raiche:Actually, one of the exhibitions at Singapore was the diversity of people who are 'Singaporean"
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:OK if it IS local
Maureen Hilyard:LOL Cheryl
Holly Raiche:Agree with CLO - the performrance should be Local for Singapore (and more afordable as well)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:That sounds like the performance will be local
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:also look to the Mrs Wong connection as an alternate lneed to cost that as well...
Maureen Hilyard:Actually I'm looking forward to a Singaporean Dikir Barat - I checked out Kuek's You tube and it looked like an Asia group rap
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:You can't keep an audience engaged more than 10+ minutes in my view
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:indeed Maureen as it canbe demonstrably LOCAL then that is fine by me as well
Holly Raiche:@ Maureen - I also checked it out - and they looked really grea - and different - as long as they are local
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Food and drink is VERY expensive
Heidi Ullrich:Might some traditional Chinese New Year arts and crafts or food be offered while the networking is ongoing?
Kelvin Wong:Sure - Dikir Barat is local - may have origins in Malaysia, but like Cheryl said, we're a melting pot of cultures : )
Maureen Hilyard:Wonder who is taking over from Don and APTLD? How likely will we be able to get sponsorship from then again?
Heidi Ullrich:@Holly, the $1200 is from ICANN.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Traditional arts/crafts/ display from as many points of our sub regions is to be encouraged Heidi
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Re we likely to have the same room allocations??
Holly Raiche:APNIC was happy to chip in for $2000 - so a budget plsu wha ICANN will chip in - is what we need
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:LUNAR New Year please
Heidi Ullrich:Or red envelopes?
Maureen Hilyard:yes Heidi tht sounds good
Heidi Ullrich:or red paper lanterns
Heidi Ullrich:with the At-Large logo on it :)
Maureen Hilyard:chinese fortune cookies ?
Ariel Liang:http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.55.yOtmFb&id=41581064391&ns=1&abbucket=17#detail
Maureen Hilyard:Sounds great Ariel
Heidi Ullrich:@Ariel, yes, we had a paper cutter during the Gala in Beijing
Holly Raiche:Ariel - gret suggesions - maybe follow up on the ideas
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:as long as we do the diversity of the Region niot just a SEAsian country or two ;-)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Celebrating Diversity!!!
Silvia Vivanco:here is the Budget from our last showcase for food only : Total food/drinks 3,871.49 US $
Pavan Budhrani:http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/437416/2296919/0/1150279951.jpg
Silvia Vivanco:We will get an updated one
Holly Raiche:let's get a list of possible small things and then choose a couple of them?
Silvia Vivanco:we will get current pricing based on the same menu we had
Ariel Liang:Here are some red envelopes I found on the Chinese Amazon (Taobao): http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.75.IDMZG5&id=41376139989&ns=1&abbucket=17#detail
Maureen Hilyard:Yes.. Iagree Cheryl.. lets make it more interactive. We've done it all before..
Holly Raiche:I'd do the performances BEFORE the networking
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:YES absolutly Holly
Holly Raiche:If we do the performances first - then people naturally break up - and can be invited to network
Silvia Vivanco:What about the trivia/quiz?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:IF we have the same space as last time we can have the speakers in the ALAC room move to the foyer area for perofmance and have the long table(s) set upo there wioth food and drink served there as well
Silvia Vivanco:that was quite interactive and novel
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:NO quiz required
Heidi Ullrich:Should staff look into Chinese New Year traditional food for the snacks?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr: been there done that , literally got the t shirt
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Sure
Holly Raiche:Also if Dirik Barat is interactive, we don't need anything else intractive
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:That was to Heidi
Maureen Hilyard:Agree.. no quiz becuse we did quiz at Singapore before and then agains straight after.. not this time
Silvia Vivanco:okay noted
Maureen Hilyard:OK with me
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Perhaps li can join the SC as well
Holly Raiche:Great - and that is whwere the diversity is displayed - I'll have a look a sponsorshipand budgets?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:Ali
Ali AlMeshal:Yes
Ali AlMeshal:For the table
Silvia Vivanco:very good distribution of tasks
