[APRALO-Policy] APRALO Policy Forum Zoom call to seek input on proposed APF activities for 2022

[Justine Chew]

Dear all,

Satish and I would like to have a Zoom call with all members of the APRALO
Policy Forum to discuss some proposed new initiatives for 2022 as well as
to do a high-level update on two of our existing projects; i.e. (1)
Register of Skills & Interests (Project RoSI), and (2) Hot Topics Survey
(HTS) 2022.

Unless there are major objections to the following proposed date/time
and/or if staff were to advise of any known conflict with another key
event, we would like have this call on:

*Thursday, 12 May 2022 at 06:00 UTC for not more than 90 minutes*


If you do have difficulties with the proposed date/time, please let us know
by EOB Monday 9 May, and we will take them into consideration.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Satish and Justine
Co-Chairs, APRALO Policy Forum
