Networking/Showcase events

APRALO plans to conduct Networking and/or Showcase events in line with our theme of "Celebrating Diversity". Details of these programs will be made available shortly.

Outreach Events 

APRALO, in conjunction and co-ordination with other groups in ICANN that are working for outreach, will organize and participate in outreach programmes during ICANN57 at Hyderabad. These programmes may include addressing different stakeholder groups such as Universities, Schools, and NGOs about Internet Governance, and how these end-users and their communities could influence ICANN policy.

Capacity Building activities

The following Capacity Building Activities are planned for ICANN57:

a. Meeting of India-based APRALO ALSes
A meeting of all India-based ALSes of APRALO is proposed during the meeting. Funding for this meeting has been requested from Government of India, and we are currently awaiting their approval.

b. Capacity Building Session for APRALO ALS Representatives
The ALAC Capacity Building Working Group will organize a capacity building session during ICANN57, which is targeted at the representatives of the India-based ALSes as well as other members of the At-Large Community. The session will discuss issues such as enhancing participation in IG processes,  keeping ALSes active and at high levels of vitality, and the recent developments in IG.

c. First India School on Internet Governance (ISIG)
The first India School on Internet Governance (ISIG) is scheduled for 31 Oct - 2 Nov, just prior to ICANN57, at Hyderabad. The event is supported by NIXI, Government of India; ICANN; Internet Society; and Asia-Pacific School on Internet Governance (APSIG). While mainly targeted at India-based IG Practitioners, the school is also open for a small number of participants from other countries in the region, particularly South and Central Asia. For more information, please see http://isig.in

General Assembly

As ICANN57 has been shifted to Asia-Pacific at short notice, there are no plans for a General Assembly (consisting of representatives of all APRALO ALSes) during this meeting.
