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

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,

Hello all,

Following the email below to the APRALO list, I would to invite suggestions from you all particularly on the following items:

  *   With respect to UA and IDNs, what are specific opportunities for participation and action items for the same
  *   Concrete ideas for simplifying engagement, allowing for ease of understanding, and increasing discussion opportunities in APF

These are mutually exclusive endeavors.

I will also be following up on progress on for the APRALO Hot Topics Survey (HTS) 2022 project separately, soon.

Thanks in advance,
Justine

Dear all,

Yesterday at the March 2022 APRALO Monthly Teleconference<https://community.icann.org/x/_QB1Cw>, I reported on the APRALO Policy Forum (APF) Survey #2.2021 Results and Guide for 2022<https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/2022-02-17+APRALO+Monthly+Teleconference?preview=%2F186778677%2F186780771%2FAPRALO+PF+Survey+2.2021+Report+%26+2022+Guide.pdf>.

The reason for the output being crafted as guidance instead of clear recommendations was because the participation in the survey was very low despite it being open for an extended amount of time over Dec 2021 to mid Jan 2022.

In any case, expressions of support were received at the said monthly teleconference and on that basis, we would like to proceed with the rough plan we have for the APF for this year, which is summarized as follows:

1. Maintain Selective Focus

  *   Concentrate on UA and IDNs - establish specific opportunities for 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<mailto:staff at atlarge.icann.org>> only to express your interest. Existing APF members<https://community.icann.org/display/APRALO/APRALO+Policy+Forum#APRALOPolicyForum-Members> need not contact staff unless you wish to drop out of the APF.

Thank you and kind regards,

Satish and Justine
