Dear Sala, On behalf of At-Large staff, congratulations on being selected by the members of APRALO as a representative to the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) representing APRALO. Your two year term will begin at the close of the 42nd ICANN Meeting scheduled to take place 23-28 October 2011 in Dakar, Senegal. We are very much looking forward to working with you. If you should have any questions, please contact At-Large staff at staff@atlarge.icann.org. So that you will be able to begin to receive messages sent to the At-Large mailing lists, At-Large staff will be adding you to the relevant mailing lists this week. You have also already been sent a password to the At-Large Confluence wiki pages (see: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Advisory+Committee+%28A LAC%29). A Confluence training guide is available at: https://community.icann.org/display/help/Wiki+Training+Guides. In addition, you may find the two attached documents of interest. The ALS Starter Kit contains many links that the At-Large community uses on a daily basis. The At-Large diagram shows the structure of the At-Large community. It is an easy (and colorful!) way to understand the structure of At-Large at a glance. Upon the request of Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, At-Large staff will be scheduling an informal call with you so that he may answer any questions you may have on the position of APRALO representative to the ALAC. Finally, as your term will begin in Dakar, you are eligible for ICANN travel support to participate in this meeting. Constituency Travel will be in touch with you shortly to inform you of your approved arrival and departure dates. Again, congratulations on being selected to represent APRALO on the ALAC. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Matt Ashtiani, Marilyn Vernon, ICANN At-Large Staff
