Thanks, ICANN staff, for the additional instructions for those individuals who have not accessed ICANN Join. 

Question to ICANN Staff: Do we have any metrics on how many ALAC members do not have access to ICANN Join? I guess I had wrongfully assumed (always dangerous) that individuals would have access to the ICANN Portal and ICANN Join. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Michael

Dear CPWG,

 

Please be advised that Mr. Palage’s instructions are only partially correct. If you have not accessed ICANN Join before, please follow these instructions for first-time users, also posted on the At-Large website.

 

Kind regards,

 

At-Large Support Team

Subject: [CPWG] Moving this Thread to OFB mailing list to continue this important discussion

 

Hello All,

 

Per ALAC leadership we will be migrating this important discussion to the OFB mailing list.

 

For those not signed up for the OFB mailing list, see instructions below.

 

Log in to your ICANN account and go to https://account.icann.org/app/userhome [account.icann.org]

 

Click on ICANN Join icon.

 

Click on the HOME tab in the upper navigation bar to see if you are an active member in the OFB mailing list. If you are, get ready to continue the discussion there.  

 

If you are not a member of the OFB mailing list, click Join Groups in the top navigation bar and select the OFB. Please note that you will need to have your time zone selected to complete the sign-up. After successfully completing the sign-up process, you will get a confirmation email from ICANN.

 

Big shout-out to Olivier for helping me navigate the ICANN user portal. I am old-school; signing up for a mailing list was much easier back then. That being said, I think the important work that Sally Costerton and Patrick Jones are doing with the ICANN engagement team will prove invaluable to some of the issues we will be discussing.

 

Best regards,

 

Michael
