Hi Dharma, Thanks for your comments. We will post them to the Workspace. Regarding the title, this is very much only a tentative title for exactly the reason you point out. Do you have any suggestions for a title? Thanks very much, Heidi Heidi Ullrich Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: + 1 (310) 578 - 8647 Fax: +1 (310) 823 - 8649 Cell/Mobile: +1 (310) 437 - 3956 -----Original Message----- From: Dharma Dailey [mailto:dharma@ethoswireless.com] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 3:03 PM To: ICANN At-Large Staff Cc: alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org; at-large-improvements-project-taskforce(a)icann.org; registrants-rights(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org Subject: Re: [ALAC-Announce] REQUEST: Beginner's Guide for End Users and Consumers - Topics and Sources requested Two suggestions: 1) Change the name. It's doubtful that what many End Users or Consumers will self-identify as such. 2) Test the material with a representative target audience.

April 23, 2012

Dear All, As part of the series of ICANN Beginners Guides <http://www.icann.org/en/about/learning/beginners-guides> , a Beginner's Guide for End Users and Consumers is being prepared. The aim is to have this guide completed by the 44th ICANN Meeting scheduled to take place 24-29 June 2012 in Prague. This topic has been identified of interest to many within the At-Large community. Additionally, the At-Large Improvements project identifies outreach and information for consumers as one of the activities to be implemented. A Workspace <https://community.icann.org/x/57nbAQ> has been created to collect topics to be included in this Beginner's Guide, identify documents to be used in its preparation, and as a means to review drafts. Could we ask that you please either post your comments and suggestions directly to the wiki workspace of send them to At-Large staff at: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org by Friday, 27 April?

Call for membership in the At-Large Technology Taskforce Working Group (TTF)
by ICANN At-Large Staff April 23, 2012

April 23, 2012

Dear All, Please find below a call for membership in the At-Large Technology Taskforce from the Chair, Dev Anand Teelucksingh. ** Dear All, One of the recommendations from the ALAC/At-Large Improvements Project Milestone Report dated 9 October 2011 (https://community.icann.org/x/fAW5AQ) is the establishment of an At-Large Technology Taskforce (TTF) The TTF will be responsible for several tasks, including: - periodically review the appropriateness of available technology, - help train RALOs/ALSes in new technologies introduced and possibly operate a help desk, - introduce to the ALSes selected information-dissemination, communication and collaboration tools and provide training, - assist with the development and implementation of the At-Large Social Media Outreach Strategy, - assist ICANN staff with the redesign of the At-Large website. Participation of the At-Large community and ALAC in policy discussions involves the use of a diverse amount of tools and technologies over the Internet. In turn, ALS representatives are expected to disseminate information within their ALS and to the general public. The At-Large community's understanding and effective usage of the various technology tools is important. A Technology Workspace has been created at https://community.icann.org/x/JZvbAQ which the TTF will maintain to help document the various technology tools and best practices and/or useful add-ons that would help At-Large members better use these tools. While the word "technology" in the working group name may imply that only persons well versed in technology need only apply, THAT IS NOT THE CASE. We're also seeking persons that are willing to evaluate various tools and share feedback. If you have any questions about the TTF and/or wish to join the TTF, please email ICANN At-Large Staff at staff(a)atlarge.icann.org by Monday, 30 April. The first call of the TTF will be held in early May 2012. Kind regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh Chair of the TTF ** Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

The 30-day survey period closes Monday, April 23. If you would, please send out a final reminder and encourage all members of your community to review and complete the survey document. Responses will be carefully considered and will impact ICANN’s planning efforts going forward. Now is an excellent time for your community to play a role in that planning process. Thus far, nearly 150 community members (representing every ICANN region) have completed and submitted the survey document. Surveys are taking 25 minutes on average to complete. Some respondents have advised us that they’d like to see the full survey before going to the link so that they can prepare their answers ahead of time. I am again attaching a Word-format document of the survey in English that you can forward with the reminder. The on-line survey is available in all six UN languages. The survey link at http://questionpro.com/t/AHB7OZM7Lx will remain open through 22 April 2012. Any personal encouragement you can offer to increase survey completion would be most appreciated. Thanks very much for giving this effort a final push. We hope that many more members of your community will participate. Please call or email me if I can help. Best regards, Kurt Pritz
