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.

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.
