Regional Activities

In the interests of time, Members are requested to add any particular items relating to regional activities for which ALAC action is needed to the 'New Business' section of the agenda. Other matters of regions should be discussed on-list intercessionally.

APRALO Monthly Meeting Report:- The first of our monthly meetings via teleconference was held on August 28th

Meeting notes were taken by ISOC HK and will be posted on the APRALO site in due course. This, and the recorded transcript, will be available at(https.--st.icann.org-asiapac-index.cgi?28_august_2007] (as is the agenda).

Major outcomes of the meeting as reported to the AP-Discuss List were:

1. APTLD IDN Fast-track Proposal: Keith Davidson (on behalf of APTLD) summarised the rationale behind their proposal. The general consensus at the teleconference was that APRALO should support the APTLD proposal, based on the fact that the AP region is likely the region with the greatest need for an IDN solution. The following motion was put forth: 'That APRALO support the "very limited and controlled approach" for an allocation of ccTLD IDN's, as proposed by the APTLD, for a FastTrack allocation of ccTLD IDN's, while ICANN goes through their more extensive Policy Development Process; and to vocally show this support at the ICANN meeting in LA.' Proposed: Cheryl Langdon-Orr: Seconded: Gary Soo The comment period is 9 September 2007 to 19 September 2300GMT. Voting Period Start: 20 September 2007nbspnbsp End: 25 September 2007 2359GMT. The APTLD statement is available at(https.--st.icann.org-asiapac-index.cgi?28_august_2007]

2. APRALO 2008 Physical Meetings: One meeting at ICANN Asia Pacific Meeting. Second meeting proposed during IGF 2008 in Delhi. APRALO and APTLD are currently in the process of seeking mutual grounds of engagement and collaboration (APRALO has a Working Group to this effect). APTLD (through Don Hollander, General Manager) has indicated that they will likely hold a regular meeting during IGF 2008 and suggested it would be an opportune time to stage a joint APRALO/APTLD meeting. This concept met with general approval at the Teleconference. A motion to hold this meeting will be proposed at the September Teleconference.

3. Working Group Updates: a) Budget and Projects- John Fung has indicated to me he will have some feedback as per the timeline set (October 2007). Nirmol (ISVK) has joined this WG. b) APRALO-APTLD Collaboration-nbsp Christopher and Edmon are actively working on this. APTLD Bangkok Meeting: Edmon (ISOC-HK) has indicated he will attend this meeting and represent APRALO during a Panel Discussion. This is in response to APTLD's request. Rajnesh Singh was also invited to present at the August APTLD Meeting in Honiara on APRALO and its function. That presentation will be available on the APRALO web site (perhaps in a new section called "Resources").nbsp c) Outreach: Support for APNG Camp - there was some communication breakdown in the proposal to support this year's camp, coupled with time constraints. However it is APRALO's intention to support the APNG initiative and it is hoped that the request and proposal for next year's camp can be addressed in a timely manner.

4. Issues Working Groups: Volunteers are required for several issues under consideration within ALAC. Volunteers required to work with these ALAC WGs to represent APRALO interests were called for. Collaborative mechanisms for these APRALO Working Groups, include:- dedicated mailing list per WG; IRC/IM type setup (ExCom has started using Skype Chat with some success); Wiki (which already exists).

Non-Standing Agenda Items

Other Matters From Previous Meetings

1. Working Practices of the Committee - please see the attached Current ROP's DRAFT under WG discussion for ALAC Consideration: CLO/WG to speak to this matter (3 mins)
2. Division of Labour / Subcommittees (from 28 June 2007) (2 min) - In her email to the SC (JAM; CLO; VC; RG; AM) Jacqueline suggested the following start up activities / course of action, for us to begin with "to start with a draft ToR for the work of the group, timeframes etc. and send that to the ALAC as a first step. When I thought about the group originally, I came up with the following things that the ALAC needs to do :

• Outreach membership – including internal and external relationships (other ICANN committees, ICANN staff etc, as well as external like IGF and regional groupings)
• Communications – website, press, blog, etc
• Policy – ad hoc working groups and
• Strategy
• Finance (already constituted)
I don’t know if anyone else has more or a different type of list, but hopefully this can kickstart the process." end quote... To this end if other ALAC activities / priorities could be identified to the SC it would be greatly appreciated.

Outreach & Related Activities
