Dear At-Large Members, please really consider attending the Webinar below. It is of particular interest to anyone interested in taking part in ICANN Policy development activities, whether getting involved in a GNSO working group, or helping the ALAC draft Statements. It also has a section that will help you using the Adobe Connect virtual desktop that we use in all our calls. So if you're interested in Internet Governance Policy Making, this is the workshop for you. Kindest regards, Olivier On 05/03/2015 02:11, ICANN At-Large Staff wrote:
