Regards, Kelvin From: Kelvin Wong <kelvin.wong@icann.org> Date: Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 4:40 PM To: "apilp_discuss@apilp.asia" <apilp_discuss@apilp.asia> Subject: Proposed workshop proposal for submission to APrIGF 2015 Dear all, Thanks again for your comments on the proposed direction for the curriculum. Based on what was shared earlier in Feb, and the proposed themes of the APrIGF 2015, APILP Chair and secretariat have come up with an initial draft of a proposed workshop proposal for the APrIGF. Please see the draft workshop proposal attached. Some key points: * To better integrate into the APrIGF, we propose to have 3 sessions (of 90 mins) spread over the 3 conference days, instead of having one pre-event * Proposed sessions are in line with the draft curriculum we shared earlier, and is intended to provide primers to audience attending APrIGF over the conference period. There is also some deliberate alignment with the themes/topics of the current APrIGF * Some members have asked for a legal/policy track we¹ve not included this (yet) but if there are suitable topics and speakers for this, we could explore doing this together with say Day 2 or Day 3 workshop. Please let us know if you have any feedback on this. There was also an idea during the face-to-face APILP meeting in APrIGF 2014 to have a smaller curriculum work group to look into curriculum planning and suitable speakers please let us know if you are able to contribute to this too. Thank you. Regards, Kelvin Wong APILP Secretariat =====Key points of the proposals appended below===== Pre-event or Main Session: Main conference Session (Jul 1-3) Workshop title: Asia Pacific Internet Leadership Program (APILP) Day 1 (General) Overview of Internet Governance History and Current global development. Specific Issues of Discussion and Description: Close to half of the world¹s 3 billion internet users are now in the Asia Pacific region, and there¹s no guessing where most of the next billion is going to come from. Hear from the region¹s renowned speakers on a wide range of issues: What is Internet Governance? What are the key milestones that have shaped the world¹s thinking on Internet Governance? What is the Internet really and how does it work? Who runs the Internet now and what is at stake here? Why should you care? Day 1 covers general Internet Governance issues such as Overview of Internet Governance History and Current global development, as well as emerging issues. This session will help you better understand the key drivers and important milestones in the world of Internet Governance past, present and beyond. Workshop Proposal 2 Workshop title: APILP (Asia Pacific Internet Leadership Program) - Day 2 - (Technical) Domain Name System; Critical Internet Resources Specific Issues of Discussion and Description: Day 2 of the APILP covers technical topics on the Domain Name System; Critical Internet Resources (IP addresses, IPv4/6). Have a question on how the Internet works, what goes into the addressing system of the Internet; and what are the challenges in maintaining a single, stable and secure Internet? This session will provide a concise background on the workings and backbone of the Internet resources. Workshop Proposal 3 Workshop title: APILP (Asia Pacific Internet Leadership Program) Day 3 (Emerging Issues) IANA Stewardship Transition (TBC) Specific Issues of Discussion and Description: Day 3 of the APILP provides the background to and updates on the IANA Stewardship Transition that have started since the announcement by the US Government on the transition of key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community. This session will update the community on the community-led effort, as well as the proposals/comments that have come in for the two parallel tracks of IANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN¹s Accountability. ====== From: Hong Xue <hongxueipr@gmail.com> Date: Sunday, February 22, 2015 at 4:58 PM To: Kelvin Wong <kelvin.wong@icann.org> Cc: Anja Kovacs <anja@internetdemocracy.in>, Leonid TODOROV <l.todorov@aptld.org>, "apilp_discuss@apilp.asia" <apilp_discuss@apilp.asia> Subject: Re: [Apilp_discuss] Proposals and feedback on Asia Pacific Internet Leadership Program (APILP) @ICANN52 Dear All, Happy the New Year of Sheep/Goat/Ram! Thanks for all the thoughtful and insightful comments. Regarding the framework of the curriculum, I completely support Anja's suggestion to add a "legal or policy track" that could cover the critical issues of HR, data protection, user rights, IPR, dispute resolution, liabilities and law enforcement, etc. Otherwise, we would have to spam all these essential topics into "emerging issues". I also support the suggestions on future development of APILP. In addition to the yearly one-day event affiliated with APrIGF, I believe it do not exclude any other CB initiatives in other form and at other venue, as far as they serve the AP community. For example, I had organized APILP Beijing (3-day event) twice and invited Izumi and Penghua to teach there. It worked well.
