Dear Adugna and Henok, ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that (332) Internet Society Ethiopia Chapter (ISOC Ethiopia) has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in APRALO and ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALSes, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. It’s very important to keep the members of your organization informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest. Here are a few of the tools members of At-Large find useful: The At-Large wiki space is where you can find most of the relevant information: The At-Large introductory page<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2265510> help you navigate through the wiki contents. This is where you can find the latest announcements, and subscribe to the At-Large Google calendar<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Calendar> at the bottom of the page. This will ensure you never miss a meeting! From any chosen page in the At-Large wiki, you can find your bearings easily by navigating via the purple box at the top left hand corner of the page. It is very convenient to be able to consult the latest At-Large Policy Development Activity<https://community.icann.org/x/bwFO>, find out more about the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs)<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Regional+At-Large+Organisations>, and about At-Large Working Groups<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Working+Groups>. For the most up to date information about At-Large meetings during ICANN Public meetings, it is worth bookmarking this wiki page<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ICANN+Meetings>! Regional wiki webpages also have been created to distribute information (including in local languages) on activities, events and issues of particular interest to people in each region. These are maintained by the community. They are: African Region: http://www.afralo.org<http://www.afralo.org/> Asia/Australia/Pacific Region: http://www.apralo.org<http://www.apralo.org/> European Region: http://www.euralo.org<http://www.euralo.org/> Latin America/Caribbean Region: http://www.lacralo.org<http://www.lacralo.org/> North American Region: http://www.naralo.org<http://www.naralo.org/> At-Large Mailing Lists. There are many At-Large email lists, for each region, you can sign up to them and manage your subscriptions at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo. The primary and secondary points of contact you have identified in the application form will automatically be added to your region's list just for accredited ALSes to discuss regional issues and to the mailing list for Staff announcements (only Staff can post messages to that list); you are invited to join others as you wish. ALAC website. The ALAC website<http://www.atlarge.icann.org/> is a good source for ICANN news and information of interest to individual Internet users. We encourage you to provide your members with a link. The ALAC relies on volunteers to translate information into multiple languages. Translations of documents on the website are welcome and should be sent to At-Large Staff.<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> ICANN website: The ICANN website<https://www.icann.org/> is where all announcements<https://www.icann.org/news> are posted, and where you can find practical information about ICANN Public meetings<http://meetings.icann.org/>. Skype chat: At-Large community members and staff use Skype group chats extensively. A group chat exists for most Working Groups and RALOs. So please don¹t hesitate to send At-Large Staff your Skype ID and we¹ll gladly add you to the relevant chats. Please click here <http://www.skype.com/en/> if you don¹t have a Skype account. It’s free and staff are available to help if you run into any trouble. Facebook: The At-Large community has its own Facebook page<https://www.facebook.com/icann.atlarge?fref=ts>. It’s useful to keep up with announcements and helpful information. Twitter: Members of At-Large tweet extensively and are particularly active during ICANN Public meetings. Follow At-Large on Twitter<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge?lang=fr%3E>! We will forward the At-Large Beginners’ guide shortly, as it is in the process of being updated.

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- De : GSE Africa via AFRALO-Individual-Members < afralo-individual-members(a)icann.org> Date: jeu. 21 nov. 2024 à 15:51 Subject: [AFRALO-Individual-Members] Webinar: Causes and Consequences of Major Internet Outages in Africa in 2024 (And How to Mitigate Them) - 25 November - 1000 - 1200 UTC To: afralo-individual-members(a)icann.org <afralo-individual-members(a)icann.org > Cc: Yaovi Atohoun <yaovi.atohoun(a)icann.org> This year has been particularly tumultuous for Internet connectivity in Africa, with two major subsea outages <https://pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/what-can-we-learn-from-africas-multi…> and multiple Internet shutdowns <https://pulse.internetsociety.org/shutdowns> across at least ten countries. Despite this, the Internet has, in many cases, continued to work, thanks to the efforts of the Internet communities to improve and maintain its resilience over the years. To strengthen these efforts, the Internet Society, together with ICANN <https://pulse.internetsociety.org/glossary#icann> and AUDA, is hosting a *Free* *Webinar on 25 November 2025 from 10:00 to 12:00 *UTC <https://pulse.internetsociety.org/glossary#utc> to help community members use Internet monitoring tools to evaluate the state of Internet resilience. African ICT <https://pulse.internetsociety.org/glossary#ict> decision-makers, telecommunication regulators, telecommunication and Internet service providers, and technical community members are encouraged to join. During the webinar, participants will learn about: - The causes and impact of the 14 March 2024 subsea outage incident and how to avoid similar scenarios using Internet Society’s Pulse data. - The limitations of the current African Internet measurement infrastructure. Despite several past initiatives, there is still a low number of Internet measurement platforms, usage, deployment, and capabilities in Africa, and unfortunately, this footprint is decreasing. For example, only 240 of the 12,000+ connected RIPE Atlas probes worldwide are in Africa. - Increasing Internet measurement infrastructure in Africa to support the resilience of the Internet on the continent. *Register now!* <https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B2v7t5fgQUmON5EzZJntWQ> *Details* - What: Webinar on the causes, consequences and ways to mitigate against major Internet outages in Africa - Where: Online (register via Zoom <https://icann.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B2v7t5fgQUmON5EzZJntWQ>) - When: 25 November 2024 from 10:00—12:00 UTC. - Who: ICT decision-makers, telecommunication regulators, telecommunication and Internet service providers, and technical community members. - Language: The webinar will have live interpretation for Arabic, English, French, and Portuguese. _______________________________________________ AFRALO-Individual-Members mailing list -- afralo-individual-members(a)icann.org To unsubscribe send an email to afralo-individual-members-leave(a)icann.org _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. -- -- Cordialement ABDELDJALIL BACHAR BONG ---------------------------------- PRESIDENT ASSOCIATION "HOUSE OF AFRICA" E-mail: bachar(a)houseof.africa Twitter: @HOUSEOFINTERNET WEBSITE : www.houseof.africa Whatsapp: +23566274284 <+235%2066%2027%2042%2084> Skype: Bongbour ------------------------------------- Le Secrétaire Exécutif/Executive Secretary Forum sur la Gouvernance de l'Internet au Tchad (FGI Tchad) / Chad Internet Governance Forum ------------------------------------- E-mail: Bachar(a)igf.td Website: www.igf.td Twitter :@IGFCHAD https://twitter.com/bacharbong Tél:0023566274284 N'djaména(Tchad) --------------------------------------------- |AFRINIC Fellow|ISOC CHAD Member|ICANN/AFRALO Member|NEXTGEN Fellow|GIVE1PROJECT MEMBER|IGFSA MEMBER|ACIEDD BOARD MEMBER|UN YOUTH DELEGATE - CHAD 2016-2018|ICANN60 Fellow ||Youth Peacebuilder|VP United Nations Association of Chad (UNA-Tchad)||
