Dear all (APILP mailing list), Happy 2016! Some of you might be aware of or have been involved in discussion related to the new APSIG, and might be wondering how this impacts APILP. In discussion with APSIG, I¹m happy to say that we are proposing for APILP to continue with the morning sessions during APrIGF, as we have done previously in APrIGF 2015. In view of this, I would like to kick start the process of determining the topics and drafting the workshop proposals (sorry that this coordination has taken some time). To recap, for the last APrIGF, we submitted and held 3 workshop sessions (45 mins each), one for each morning of the main APrIGF conference, targeted mainly at the newcomers and youth participants (See here for the workshop proposals etc: https://community.icann.org/display/GSEAPAC/Asia+Pacific+Internet+Leadership +Program+%28APILP%29+Working+Group) Proposal for APrIGF 2016 For APrIGF 2016, we are proposing to submit workshop proposals based on the following: * Duration: 3 sessions, 90 mins per session (There were some feedback that 45 mins each in 2015 was too short. I think we can propose 90 mins - this was also our originally proposed duration in 2015) * Audience: Newcomers and interested parties. Explore with organizers in making it a requirement for YIGF participants and APrIGF Fellows to attend this, if possible. * Topics: It will be "same-same but different² having some new/emerging topics but keep to the essence of these being introductory courses. Some of the core members in APILP (as copied) discussed and we¹ve come up with the following suggestions (see bottom of this email). Please let me know if you have any comments or further suggestions. Given the deadline for APrIGF workshop proposal submission, could I invite comments to come in by 2 Feb please? Thank you.
