The APRALO Register of Skills & Interests (RoSI) is proceeding as a pilot!

The RoSI intended to be a dynamic register to which APRALO At-Large Structure Members and APRALO Unaffiliated Individual Members may wish to submit data on their skills and interests specifically in areas within ICANN’s remit.  Submission of data on experience or interest in advocating for a multistakeholder model in Internet Governance would also be welcomed.

We will be using a Google form to implement the RoSI pilot while development of the ICANN Community Engagement System (CES) remains pending for the At-Large Community. This RoSI pilot implementation is expected to run over 2 cycles (Cycle1: JunJul-Jul Aug 2024, and Cycle 2: Sep-Nov 2024) to enable adjustments to be made in consideration of new input (eg. results of the APRALO Hot Topics Survey 2024). After each cycle, the pilot will be reviewed for continuous improvement and durability (as needed). The 2-cycle approach is also meant to facilitate the participation of new respondents over time, and to enable past respondents to update their previously submitted data (just for the pilot).

This pilot incorporates many of the project's 2021 goals, but instead of assessing candidates for entry into RoSI, the approach for the pilot is to open the RoSI to all interested APRALO Community members by not only focusing on respondents who have expertise and/or knowledge to share but also to capture the interests of respondents who may be interested to learn about selected topic and themes within ICANN's remit.

title2021 Goals

In reviewing and evaluating available inputs on topics or areas within ICANN's remit (for eg. as identified at the At-Large website), this Register of Skills & Interests aims to:-

  • Firstly, formulate the list of Identified Topics (& Sub-Topics) of concern;
  • Secondly, ascertain the priority of Identified Topics;
  • Thirdly, ascertain Identified Skills needed for Identified Topics;
  • Then identify RALO ALSes, ALS Members and/or Individual Members with the Identified Skills;
  • Thus, building a talent pool to help provide RALO/At-Large input to:-
    • ICANN activities - PDP, resource planning (eg. strategic planning, operational priorities, budget development etc);
    • RALO/ALAC activities - internal governance, data collection, policy positioning, capacity building etc; and
  • As a corollary goal, identify experts who could become mentors for the Identified Topics

Membership:

TBD – how to assess those who might qualify to be entered into RoSI

  • PROJECT GOALS & STEPS (revised from May 2021 goals)
    • Firstly, formulate the list of Identified Topics & Themes of concern to At-Large, drawn from ICANN's Strategic Plan for FY2021-2025 (download), with priority given to the ALAC's top 3 ICANN strategic priorities as at Dec 2023
    • Secondly, ascertain the priorities for APRALO based on past input;
    • Thirdly, ascertain some Identified Skills needed for Identified Topics & Themes;
    • Then invite RALO ALS Members and/or Individual Members to provide data on Identified Skills;
    • Thus, building a talent pool to help provide RALO/At-Large input to:-
      • ICANN activities - PDP, resource planning (eg. strategic planning, operational priorities, budget development etc);
      • RALO/ALAC activities - internal governance, data collection, policy positioning, capacity building etc; and
    • As a corollary goal, identify -
      • Respondents who could become mentors for the Identified Topics & Themes; AND
      • Respondents who might want to build their capacities for the Identified Topics & Themes
  • SUB-STEPS:

       7 June 2024

  1. Preliminary input and beta-testing of RoSI Pilot Form for Cycle 1 prior to making form available to respondents (early-mid Jun)
  2. DISCUSS feedback received from beta-testing team on Pilot Form for Cycle 1

titlePilot Cycle 1

Update on APRALO Register of Skills & Interests Pilot Cycle 1 (17 Sep 2024)

  • The APRALO Register of Skills & Interests (RoSI) is intended to be a dynamic register to which APRALO Community members may wish to submit data on their skills, knowledge and interests specifically in areas within ICANN’s remit. 
  • After a long pause in the project, a pilot implementation was devised (with input from the RoSI Small Team) and Cycle 1 of the pilot was launched and ran from 19 July - 13 September 2024.
  • Pilot Cycle 1 called for all interested APRALO Community members who wish to indicate they have expertise and/or knowledge to share on or are interested to learn about selected topic and themes within ICANN's remit in line with the ALAC's and APRALO's current priorities.
  • 38 community members responded,submitting data on various skills/knowledge and interests.
  • These 38 respondents included:
    • Veterans community members; 
    • Already actively engaged community members; 
    • Less active community members who wish to re-engage; and
    • New community members.
  • Next Steps:
    • Study received data
    • Generate a tabulation to support the stated purpose of RoSI*
    • Identify/implement improvements/amendments to the Cycle 1 form
    • Prepare for Cycle 2 call.


*PURPOSE & USE OF SUBMITTED DATA

Data offered by respondents through the planned pilot implementation will not be published for public viewing. Instead such data will be processed and accessed exclusively by APRALO Leadership Team Members (and At-Large Staff) for the following purposes.

In terms of Skills, to assess a respondent’s experience, aptitude and suitability for:

  • An invitation to join an APRALO Work Team (or Small Team) or APRALO Policy Forum Small Team to undertake a specific task;
  • Nomination to represent APRALO or participate in ICANN events, cross-community working groups, policy development work, pen-holding for statements, leading initiatives or events, review teams etc
  • Generally being a resource person for APRALO.

In terms of Interests, to gauge a respondent’s interest to build one’s capacity in APRALO’s or At-Large identified priorities.
