Dear Amrita and Kapil,
ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased
to inform you that Cybercafe Association CCAOI 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 help you navigate through
the wiki contents. This is where you can find the latest announcements, and
subscribe to the At-Large
Google 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 , find out more about the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs), and about 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!
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
Asia/Australia/Pacific Region: http://www.apralo.org
European Region: http://www.euralo.org
Latin America/Caribbean Region: http://www.lacralo.org
North American Region: 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 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.
ICANN website: The ICANN website is where
all announcements are
posted, and where you can find practical information about ICANN Public meetings.
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 we’ll gladly add you to the relevant chats.
Please click here 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. 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!
We will forward the At-Large Beginners’ guide shortly,
as it is in the process of being updated. In the meantime, please refer to the
most recent APRALO
Orientation Call. You may also like to refer to the APRALO wiki space
for further engagement opportunities.
We look forward to working with you and your
organization's members to advance individual Internet users' interests within
ICANN. If you have any questions, or need additional information,
please contact us at staff@atlarge.icann.org.
Sincerely,
The At-Large Advisory Committee
