APRALO Multi-stakeholder Policy discussions/roundtables - Beijing - April 2013

GOAL: The idea of the APRALO Multi-stakeholder Policy discussions/roundtables is to have more intensive policy discussion sessions. With the benefit of having all the ALSes from APRALO in Beijing, the idea is to further take the opportunity to invite other stakeholders, including government representatives, registries (applicants), registrars, intellectual property rights experts, ISPs and other NGOs in the region to join in a multi-stakeholder dialogue with a goal towards potentially producing a sort of communique at the end of the meeting to establish some views on various policies and issues.
