Hello Darlene, Thank you very much for the encouragement and your input! As mentioned in the message, we will soon start to design and build the regional pages, and those pages may be good to place the important organizing documents and bylaws. We have taken note on what you suggested. If you have further input, please feel free to share with us.

Firstly, let me just say that you guys have done a WONDERFUL job of the new website. I love all of the links for newcomers and that is SO important. However (isn't there always a however? LOL) what I, personally, see as missing is a decent link to each areas important documents. When I was secretariat for NA, I ALWAYS had to root and search for our bylaws and such. I see that this is still not addressed in the new website. I am VERY excited that this website has been made so much more usable for newcomers (which is what we want) but I do really think that you need to have some kind of link directing people to each region's operating procedures and such. Those are bloody difficult to find unless you have experience with ICANN's various web sites. That's just my two cents worth. KEEP ON doing it peeps!

Dear RALO Leaders and ALAC Members,
I hope you had some time to relax in the past few weeks and have recuperated from ICANN 53.
During the At-Large website revamp presentation during ICANN 53, we provided an update on the new website under construction (URL: https://new-atlarge.herokuapp.com/). We greatly appreciated your useful comments during this session.
As we presented, we have been focusing on developing the ALAC policy sections and integrating ICANN public comment with the At-Large website. Moreover, we also started developing the sections about At-Large regional activities ahead of schedule, including the ALS/RALO map on the Homepage. To help you refresh your memory about the presentation, you may find its recording here: https://icann.adobeconnect.com/p5pnb139wy4 (0:27:00 1:26:38).
Our goal is to launch the Beta site during ICANN 54 in Dublin and the meeting is less than 3 months away. To meet this goal, we will need your input and expertise, as our next focus area is the At-Large regional activity sections. Some of the upcoming work includes:
* RALO pages for each RALO * An ALS / independent member page for users to research independent members, ALSes and their representatives' contacts, to submit ALS Application, etc. * A potential blog for RALO leaders and ALAC members to write about activities in their regions
We need your views on the RALO and ALS / independent member pages as they will represent your region and your members. After gathering your feedback, we will be able to create the new pages that effectively promote the activities in the At-Largecommunity worldwide and your region while facilitating your work in At-Large.
Very soon, we will be conducting informal brainstorm sessions/calls with the RALO leaders and ALAC members of each region and ask a list of specific questions. We hope all of you will be able to participate. Details of these calls will be sent shortly.
In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about the At-Large website revamp, please visit its wiki workspace here: https://community.icann.org/x/tMPhAg. Don¹t hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
Thank you,
Ariel
