Re the Linked in Group great the more fora for discussion the better (as long as there is a conduit for the ruminations done on them to feed into the Regional and ALS policy work in WG's etc., and of course take its place in influencing ALAC advice and statements to the Board etc., but how do we get to join up are you sending invitations to people on Linked In first or what?
Given that it's only been in existence for seven hours at the time I write this, there is still more to be done in setup. Most of At-Large people to whom I have a connection have been sent invitations. I would like to say "all" but I may have missed some inadvertently. In total more than 40 people have been invited so far and eight have already accepted. Still, there are many who are not yet on LinkedIn, and many who are but to whom I am not yet connected (and thus not able to invite). Right now the "ICANN At-Large" group should be searchable from within LinkedIn, at which point a request to join from any ALAC, RALO or ALS member will be speedily approved.
as I'm already a linked in user I just searched and found the group here => http://tinyurl.com/mz85xm
No need for the URL alias, the natural one is short enough: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2238621
so I'm already in the list for acceptance as I asked to join the group Hmm. Right now the management interface shows you as having been invited but not yet accepted. Let me know if you're having problems getting in.
but I assume there is a need to reach out to those Not currently in the Linked In network They also should note there is also another general ICANN Linked =>
LinkedICANN <http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=51000&trk=anet_ug_hm>
Yes, that can be reached at http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=51000 It serves a very different purpose, and is populated by domainers and staff as well as At-Large people. So far I have found that group to be of little benefit. - Evan
