Among the key observations shared and pivotal topics addressed were:
1.Sub-Regional Representation and Engagement:
2. Sustainability and Celebrations:
3.GNSO & Policy Development Processes :
4. DNS Forum and Local Participation:
5. Engagement with DNS Research Federation and Collaborative Assessments:
6. Policy Advocacy and Learning Processes:
7. ICANN Governance and Collaborative Actions:
Potential Next Steps for further development / follow-up by APRALO
1 . Regional Representation and Engagement:
a. APRALO LT should ensure that the Pacific community continues to engage in APRALO activities, such as APRALO monthly calls, the APF and other activities like UA Day 2024 .
b. APRALO can bridge the pacific community with the APAC GSE team for any specific project for further development and or capacity building or outreach event.
2. Sustainability:
a. APRALO should develop an operating plan that is consistent with At-Large goals to support policy discussions, outreach and engagement for socializing across the ICANN community in the AP Region.
3. Policy Development Processes:
a. APRALO should continue to emphasize participation in APRALO policy fora and ALAC’s weekly call CPWG and OFB-WG. Furthermore to engage in PDPs of strategic interest to the AP region.
4. DNS Forum and Local Participations:
a. APRALO might provide topic suggestions and session planning in upcoming DNS Forums, including proposing appropriate speakers in support of the DNS Forum being hosted in the Pacific.
5. Policy Advocacy and Learning Processes:

b. Encourage APF and APRALO members to join APF on a regular basis and become members of APF for further development and contribution through APF call.
6. ICANN Governance and Collaborative Actions:
a. APRALO should actively play a role strengthening relationships between At-Large and other ICANN stakeholders to build trust and foster cooperation, to demonstrate the power of ICANN’s multistakeholder model.
