[Apilp_discuss] Proposals and feedback on Asia Pacific Internet Leadership Program (APILP) @ICANN52

Dear all,

Some of us are gathered here in Singapore at the ICANN52 meeting, and while
we did not have a formal face-to-face session on APILP, we are glad to have
the opportunity to receive some feedback and exchange ideas with some of you
on the APILP program.

Some of the proposals are below:
* General: Following the first run of the APILP in APrIGF in India in Aug
2014, APILP should be more integrated to this regional platform as a
capacity-building track, in Day 0 of the APrIGF. This is taking into
consideration the catchment of the audience, and predictability in timing.
When the annual APrIGF travels across AP region, we¹ll also be able to reach
different regions.
* The YIGF (Youth IGF, a concurrently running program with the APrIGF)
audience to be invited also to the APILP as the content will be useful to
bring them up to speed.
* Curriculum: The curriculum for the APILP should be fairly consistent along
the following, roughly in line with what was done in APrIGF 2014:
> * Governance track
>> * Internet Governance Ecosystem
>> * IG History
> * Technical track
>> * Basic topics related to internet security
>> * Fundamentals of DNS, IP Addressing
> * Emerging issues
>> * Such as updates on development on IANA transition, new gTLD, etc
* Vice Chairs: Nominate Vice Chairs to assist in these tasks. Two names have
been surfaced for 2 Vice Chairs ­ Izumi Aizu and Hong Xue

Please let me know if you have any comments on the above.

Regards,
Kelvin
Secretariat for APILP
