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.
