Description
In late 2019, the APRALO Leadership Team proposed the initiation of an APRALO Policy Platform for 2020. After reviewing input from RALO members to the proposal and in light of the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, the Leadership Team considers this APRALO Policy Forum to be a modest but useful kickstart to facilitate and coordinate ICANN policy-related discussions at a regional level.
Purpose:
The APRALO Policy Forum aims to:
- Encourage engagement of APRALO members on issues within ICANN's remit
- Facilitate informed, inclusive regional position development on issues within ICANN's remit
- Support APRALO Leadership's participation as a regional partner to the ALAC Policy Platform
- Grow outreach opportunities by APRALO within the AP region and with other RALOs on ICANN policy issues
Membership:
Open to all APRALO members interested in ICANN policy-related discussions, by subscription to the mailing list. The membership list is published below.
Operation:
The work of the Policy Forum will be facilitated using a combination of the following resources:
- This work space, as the central repository for the Forum
- The apralo-policy@icann.org mailing list which will be moderated by members of the Leadership Team and supported by At-Large Staff.
- Periodic team/small team planning calls
The ICANN Expected Standards of Behaviour will apply.
