> Dear Eranga and Srimal,
>
> ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that Sri
> Lanka Next Generation (SLNG) 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.
>
> Itıs 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
> <
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2265510> will
> help you navigate through the wiki contents. This is where you can find the
> latest announcements, and subscribe to the At-Large Google calendar
> <
https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/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
> <
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2265510> , find
> out more about the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs)

https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Regional+At-Large+Organisations> > , and about At-Large Working Groups
