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

[Justine Chew]

Dear all,

It has come to our attention that there is a pre-set conflicting call on
Thu 12 May which involves Maureen, Cheryl and us (Satish and Justine) and
some other non-APF members. We also noted that several members of the APF
are also involved in APrIGF calls on Thursdays prior to 06:00 UTC another.
Seeing this, we propose to move this Zoom call with APRALO Policy Forum
members to:

*Friday, 13 May 2022 at 06:00 UTC for not more than 90 minutes*


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

Could At-Large staff please take note of / monitor any responses hereon.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Satish and Justine
Co-Chairs, APRALO Policy Forum

>>
>> *1. Maintain Selective Focus*

>>    participation and identify action items
>>    - Monitor developments on New gTLD Program – SubPro ODP
>>    - Monitor developments for end-user action against DNS abuse
>>    - Limit to issues within ICANN remit impacting end-users
>>
>> *2. Vary Modus Operandi*
>>
>>    - Find new ways to simplify engagement, allow for ease of
>>    understanding, increase discussion opportunities
>>    - Support and avoid duplicating CPWG efforts
>>    - Conduct periodic review on effectiveness of modus operandi
>>
>> *3. Continue with existing initiatives*
>>
>>    - APRALO Mentoring Program
>>    <https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Mentoring+Program>
>>    (an APRALO initiative beyond APF)
>>    - APRALO Register of Skills & Interests (Project RoSI)
>>    <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163840608>
>>    - APRALO Hot Topics Survey (HTS) 2022
>>    <https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Hot+Topics+2021-2022>

>> On a final note, if the above list excites you enough to want to join the
>> APF to help further develop the plan and to implement it, please *do not
>> 'reply all'* but instead, please *email At-Large Staff
>> <staff at atlarge.icann.org <staff at atlarge.icann.org>> only* to express
