Sivasubramanian Muthusamy Statement of Interest in Election to the position of the APRALO representative to the At Large Advisory Committee
I have a background in business, but have taken a keen interest in the larger issues related to the Internet Governance and with this interest I have taken the lead to establish the Internet Society of India Chennai, which became an at-Large Structure during September, 2008. I have also served as the Alac IDN liaision in 2009 and attended the ICANN meetings in Mexico and Sydney.
With a broader interest in contributing to the Internet Governance process, I have become involved in the ICANN process. Within ICANN, at-Large structures represent the average user’s interests. I have so far represented the average user’s interest as a participant of the ICANN working groups on the Post Expiry Domain Names Recovery, RAA, Vertical Integration and the Cross Community Working Group on GNSO Recommendation 6.
My interest is to contribute more to add to the good work done by the at-Large structures in APRALO. With this interest I seek to be elected to the postion of APRALO representative to ALAC, with the inclination not only to represent the regional interests in alac, but also the larger interests of the user within all of ICANN.
