Dear all, Many thanks for your kind wishes! We at ISOC Delhi are very excited to be designated as an ALS, and to begin our work in the ICANN At-Large community. We really appreciate the community's support during the designation process. Thank you, and we really look forward to working with you and being part of this great community.
