Meeting Summary

1.IGF Meeting in Hyderabad

Hong mentioned that they needed to finalize on the format of the APRALO meeting there. The 2 main choices were to be part of the official agenda or to have meetings in parallel; the latter would have more flexibility. Hong with the help of Karaitiana would draft the proposal. The deadline for this was at the end of this month.

The main items that Hong was going to put on the agenda would be the IDN issue and also capacity building of internet users. Cheryl suggested they should also include ways to reach out to the billion or so people who are not online at the moment. African friends suggested using radio to attract the people in Africa and get the message across.

everyone to be part of the At-Large public list to have a better idea of what is going on.

3.Paris Meeting.

Cheryl mentioned that there were many constituencies that wanted to meet the ALAC in Paris. Hong asked whether it would be better to join working groups or have our own sessions about issues. Cheryl said we should squeeze more into our meetings since the workshops may be over booked.
