  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:Can people please speak loudly so that we can hear please
  Fouad Bajwa:+ to ask ICANN throught ALAC that is
  Fouad Bajwa:through......sorry still drowsy :)
  Heidi Ullrich:AI: Wiki page to be created to collect comments on batching for APRALO to collect comments. These comments are to be submitted to the PC on behalf of APRALO.
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:@Fouad - there will be some kind order for delegating new gTLDs into the root, so yes, some kind of batching is coming - hence the request for comments from ICANN

  Sivasubramanian M:fouad say more about the general mood on WCIT
  Sivasubramanian M:We could do a workshop on the need for openness in CS inclusion in multistakeholder processes, could still try and ask IGFfor workshop slot
  Sivasubramanian M:this would be a theme on which APRALO could talk about the openness of ralo processes to contrast with the ITU process of apparent openness
  Fouad Bajwa:@Rinalia, until the community comments process is not completed and ALAC/GAC submit their received comments/warnings, i was of the notion that once that process is completed and ICANN releases its conclusion will then enter the process finalizing who makes it but a batching process for root inclusion is something i was unaware of
  Heidi Ullrich:At-Large WCIT Workspace: https://community.icann.org/display/alacexcomm/At-Large+WCIT+Workspace
  Sivasubramanian M:webinar yes yes
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:@ Siva, we should preach first to ICANN to do this transparently, look at how they took away our budget and we are supposed to represent end users yet we get marginalised and exploited (free work at no compensation) and whilst our work is voluntary, we get undercut when trying to build and promote outreach
  Sivasubramanian M:now you are talking like an ITU lawyer Sal a
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:I can tell you that ALS penetration rate is down
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:for APRALO
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:correction, I am a free lance agent
  Sivasubramanian M:On the other hand in our workshop we could be fair and could also look at ourselves introspectively for MORE openness in our processes
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:I am not an ITU lawyer, Siva - only considered by ITU as a regional expert on Pacific matters
  Fouad Bajwa:The webinar should be Asian Friendly Time ;)
  Rinalia Abdul Rahim:@Fouad - ICANN seeks input on gTLD batching http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-29jul12-en.htm
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:back to the point about outreach - if you want to go and preach to someone outside, start inhouse first
  Fouad Bajwa:@Rinalia, am aware of that, thank you and I think the general feeling i have picked up is that no batching but technically that is not possible during root zone additions but IDNs could be attempted to be included in the first batch of the technical addition
  Fouad Bajwa:A problem with these announcements is that they aren't circulated in the region as What do APRALO members feel about the Request for Comments RoCs by ICANN on gTLD batching, that might help us get regional feedback, a small process request issue
  Fouad Bajwa:but i have felt a strong sense that IDNs should be part of any initial activity of application evaluation, approval and addition to the root zone
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I totally understand the chicken and egg issue and am therefore of the point of view that the current answer from Finance is not conducive to helping out the chicken and egg problem
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I suggest the region raises this point at the next chance possible
  Keith:Apologies, I have to leave
  SivasubramanianM2:the solution is to separate the finance issues from that of the workshop organizing issue. What we need to focus no now is to see if there is any way we could get the MAG / one of the theme committees accept a proposal, a new proposal on which APRALO would work together, participate as panelists, and handle a theme of significance. Work on ICANN funding could proceed simultatneously
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:There is a pressing need to focus on how we can icrease and build a sustainable core and empower ALS to participate actively in the Policy Processes on key areas, there needs to be a sustainable pool to draw from
  Fouad Bajwa:Our budget input is not successful if we don't get a bridge from ICANN to execute things beforehand
  Fouad Bajwa:prepare, prepare, prepare is important and international activities are not waiting for ICANN, they have their processess and we need prior input by ICANN including their endorsements to budgets
  SivasubramanianM2:gisella call automatically disconnected after 60 minutes
  Fouad Bajwa:@Olivier, there is considerable Visa Processing time and that is already a concern in IGF
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:understood. I am told we're going to hear from Global Partnership very soon indeed
  Fouad Bajwa:and we need to start the Toronoto travel preps
  Fouad Bajwa:the visa time is around 2 months in my part of the world
  Fouad Bajwa::)
  Fouad Bajwa:and baku will be a whole different story ;o)
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:Siva, we should test the platform that you designed on a few ALS to roll out training etc for outreach so there is more policy immersion - i was disappointed with the budget allocation towards APRALO for IGF as Global Partnership has laid claim to it; they should have outrightly told us that it was Global Partnership's turf in San Jose so we would not have been misled
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:anyway the only person who has the discretion to grant us workshop space is Chengetai
  Fouad Bajwa:@Sala communication with Global Partnerships has to be improved, they should have a dedicated person to respond to ALAC activities
  SivasubramanianM2:But Chengetai is some times silent and says that it is the dcmmittee that has to decide
  SivasubramanianM2:What needs to be done is to reach out to the MAG, in addition to sending a request to Chengetai
  Fouad Bajwa:I do know what the MAG is usually discussing so u can ask anytime and i can share any updates that i have
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:Yes, so my suggestion is that we  don't waste any more time on it as there is no budget confirmation but focus on growing critical mass for input into key policy area - we need a strategic plan in terms of developing a pool of resources from within APRALO
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:if we identify key emphases and policy areas that we want to focus on then we can be alot more proactive rather than reactive to some of the policy discussions and debates
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:it will also be great to hear from the ALS's
  holly raiche:heidi - are you there?
  Siranush Vardanyan:my call was disconnected
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:If we remove the politics, money challenges bottom line is how can we improve that which is on our plate
  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:thanks!
  Gisella Gruber-White:@ Siranush - apologies te call is now ending
  Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro:Thanks
  Heidi Ullrich:Sorry, all. I thought the call had ended
