The selection should preferably be completed at least three weeks prior to the start of the June/July ICANN Meeting to facilitate travel arrangements IF the selectee is expected to attend that ICANN Meeting. They are expected however to attend the ICANN Meeting were the ICANN AGM is held and where they will effectively 'take their seats' for the roles that are appointed to.

(Eligible for re-appointment) | Holly Raiche | Kaili Kan |
| I have been actively involved in ICANN and APRALO since 2009. I have been involved in leadership, starting as APRALO Vice Chair, becoming APRALO Chair with the resignation of Charles Mok in 2012. Following that, I have been one of APRALO’S 3 ALAC members and served on the ALAC leadership team. I have also been actively involved in ICANN policy issues, serving on GNSO WGs on issues including revisions to the RAA, Inter-Registrar Transfer, Privacy/Proxy services and a number of WHOIS related working groups. I have also been involved with new gTLDs, starting with reviewing the Applicant Guidebook, commenting on PICS and finally, holding the pen on both the initial and second drafts of the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team reports. I also help organise Multistakeholder meetings on policy topics in the Singapore and London ICANN meetings (inviting speakers from other SO/ACs to a policy panel discussion with ALAC). I have developed and presented lectures for four at-Large Capacity Building sessions at two successive ICANN meetings, and given another capacity building webinar in 2017, with a further presentation later in 2018. I have also presented at two ApAC webinars and spoken at two APAC sessions at ICANN meetings. My aim for this coming term is to guide others, particularly from APRALO, in understanding and participating in the many ICANN policy debates that impact on Internet users. |

(Eligible for re-appointment) | Satish Babu | Pavan Budhrani |
| I have been the Chair of APRALO since the end of 2016, when an interim vacancy arose for the position of APRALO Chair. During my term from 2016 to 2017, I have been diligently carrying out the duties expected of the Chair. This period has seen several important activities including the APRALO General Assembly in October 2017, which had a very positive feedback from all participants, and the At-Large Review, where I personally and APRALO as an organization contributed significantly. I have also been carrying out outreach for APRALO as well as for ICANN At-Large and ICANN at venues such as IGF 2017 & 2016 (Geneva, Guadalajara), Asia-Pacific Regional IGF (APrIGF Bangkok, Taipei) and several CROP trips to the events of partners such as Internet Society, APNIC and APTLD from 2016. I have also played an important role in the SIG movement in Asia-Pacific, being on the Board of APSIG and being the founder the India SIG. Given my exposure to different parts of ICANN and At-Large, such as in the NomCom (2014, 2015), multiple cross-community working groups (Meeting Strategy, IDN Implementation, ICANN Academy), and ALAC WGs (IDN, TTF), I'm certain that APRALO will benefit from my position in its leadership. Further, I believe I am well-placed to take on some of the challenging activities ahead, such as the implementation of the At-Large Review and the ATLAS 3 due next year. APRALO is also due for the revision of its bylaws and integrating individual members, which would require a strong leadership at the helm. Considering these aspects, I believe I'm well suited for the position of Chair of APRALO. I confirm that I will have the time to spare for ICANN and APRALO activities as I have been doing for the last two years. |
