June 29, 2009

Please receive hereby (at the end of the mail) the information (in PINK and VIOLET!) about E-SENIORS organization in Paris. Sorry to send it so late after the "good" news of our certification but I sent this mail earlier only to "staff@atlarge..." and did not realize that only very few people got it!! Today I got a mail from Connie Kendig (ISOC) as a Community Grants Programme awardee because the project proposal of E-SENIORS was accepted among others : * A project by ISOC Global Member Monique Epstein to train elderly French citizens for the purpose of bridging and shrinking the digital gap between generations "... And so I got a "second reason" to give some information around ?..about our organization If you are interested in subjects concerning "Seniors" or more widely "E-excluded people" and "Internet", please don't hesitate to get in touch with us!!

The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization meets the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the local or issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that affect end-users.

Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note to _staff(a)atlarge.icann.org_. --------------------------- Name: E-SENIORS organization Location (city/country/region; whatever is relevant to your membership): Paris ( 11th arrondissement) / FRANCE Mission: The aim of the E-SENIORS association is to fight against e-exclusion by providing access to and training in information and communication technologies for seniors and/or disabled people, with the purpose of: . bridging and shrinking the digital gap between generations; . caring for elders by fighting against senior isolation, and; . opening new horizons for the efficient use of free time. Member benefits: Our main offer, since our creation 5 years ago, has consisted in group courses on ICTs for seniors in different public locations (in several quarters of the city and in two surrounding departments). In response to increasing demand after the appearance of several newspaper articles concerning our specific method, we have been constantly opening new locations all over the Ile de France region in order to provide a "proximity" service which takes into account the rhythm, interests and needs of our target population. Besides teaching "basic computer skills", i.e. how to use a computer to type a text, to communicate by mail with friends or relatives, to seek information on the Web, or to make life easier through e-administration, we have opened more thematically-oriented workshops for "advanced" students", dealing with, for example, digital images and sounds, and interactive messaging and chat. Step by step, we have added new activities like "writing memories", "karaoke with old French songs", and conferences and meetings dealing with the fight against e-exclusion or how ICTs can help one live better while growing older. All this is accomplished with the concept of a "cyber seniors club" in mind, inducing socializing on an informal level. This is a quasi non-existent concept in most big cities! Our second target population is people with reduced mobility (elderly people living in their homes). For them, we offer: computer home/personal training or assistance; help with purchasing and installation of computer equipment, and; communication with the help of audio-visual accessories, for offering both social and administrative support services as well as technical support and hotline help. For these people with identified risk factors and/or chronic conditions -- who stay (mostly) alone in their homes -- we aim to improve quality of life through greater autonomy by offering bidirectional and interactive remote- and video-assistance, based on computerized, "extranet"-type services in the sense that the TCP/IP network is used to connect the home to external services (for prevention, management, support, etc.) or to the "rest of the world" (which includes friends and family). Last but not least, we work with people in retirement homes, day-care centers (for, for example, MCI or Alzheimer patients) and other specialized institutes. Nowadays, life expectancy is increasing because of progress in science and medicine. On the other hand, there is an insufficient number of retirement homes or day-care centers and only the more expensive ones provide services not only linked to survival! For this target population, our experienced staff offers cognitive and physical stimulation through interactive games, using Nintendo consoles, Wiifit balance boards or other online games. Of course, we work together with the resident-care staff, as well as with doctors, physiotherapists and others. Within the scope of these activities, we have already experimented with the use of a remote-control set (similar to the Wiimote control of the Nintendo console) with Bluetooth and Wifi technologies, for remote control of a TV set linked to a computer.

WG: FW: Next EURALO Teleconference / WEDNESDAY 17 June at 16:00 UTC (18:00 CEST)
by Wolf Ludwig June 16, 2009

June 16, 2009

Dear all, as all our ALAC representatives will be on their way to Sydney already next Wednesday, I think, it doesn’t make much sense to have our monthly call – based on the Sydney meeting – without them (I prefer to rather talk with people than about them ;-). As Adam mentioned, it would be a tempting idea to try to arrange a call while our people (Adam, Patrick, Sébastien, Dessi, Rudi, Bill and Wolfgang) are in Sydney. But I don’t know whether we could find a suitable time slot for this because the meeting agenda at ICANN confs. is always enormous. And the time difference is considerable (what is convenient for us, is lousy for our travellers and visa-versa). http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?day=22&month=6&year=20… What about Monday, 22 june, late evening at 10:00 PM what would be Tuesday, early morning 06:00 AM in Sydney? Out of the “routine” of monthly calls, it could be an interesting experience for a distant participation of the community ... But I leave it up to the potential participants to decide. Thanks for your comments and kind regards, Wolf Gisella Gruber-White wrote Mon, 15 Jun 2009 00:53: >Dear All, > >We now have the following how are NOT able to attend the EURALO call on Wednesday: > >Bill Drake >Patrick vande Walle >Sebstien Bachollet >Adam Peak (possibly) > >Please advise on whether you would like this call to go ahead and have the minutes distributed within 24h or so?! > >Thank you >Kind regards >Gisella > > Adam Peake wrote Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:37: > >What shall we do about thus -- try to arrange a call while we're in Sydney? > ><http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?month=6&day=15&year=…> > >Or postpone to next month. > >A shame to miss the call this week, it would be >helpful to hear of the RALO's views on issues on >the ALAC's agenda for Sydney ><https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?at_large_sydney_schedule> >Comments to the list of course just as valuable! > >Best, > >Adam > > > > > >>Same here, unfortunately.

Welcome to ICANN At-Large!
by ICANN AtLarge Staff June 12, 2009

June 12, 2009

Friday, 05 June, 2009 TO: E-Seniors FROM: ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) SUBJECT: At-Large Structure Certification ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that E-Seniors has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization meets the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the local or issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that affect end-users. The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest: - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this changes, please let us know. - At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists, for each region; you can signup for them and manage your subscriptions at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo. The points of contact you identify 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; you are invited to join others as you wish. - ALS information. Information about your organization will be shared with the At-Large community to enable individuals interested in your group's activities to contact you, and to encourage cooperation with other groups interested in ICANN activities in your geographic region. Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. - ALAC website. The ALAC website (www.atlarge.icann.org) 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 staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. - At-Large Regional Websites. Regional 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 being very substantially revised in the next couple of weeks but you should keep the URLs handy and check back regularly.

Friday, 05 June, 2009 TO: Asociación de Usuarios de Internet (España) FROM: ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) SUBJECT: At-Large Structure Certification ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that the Asociación de Usuarios de Internet has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group'sinterest in involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization meets the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the local or issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that affect end-users. The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest: - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this changes, please let us know. - At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists, for each region; you can signup for them and manage your subscriptions at: http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo. The points of contact you identify 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; you are invited to join others as you wish. - ALS information. Information about your organization will be shared with the At-Large community to enable individuals interested in your group's activities to contact you, and to encourage cooperation with other groups interested in ICANN activities in your geographic region. Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. - ALAC website. The ALAC website (www.atlarge.icann.org) 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 staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. - At-Large Regional Websites. Regional 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 being very substantially revised in the next couple of weeks but you should keep the URLs handy and check back regularly. 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/ - Regional WiKi: Each At-Large Region has a Wiki that allows the region to collaborate. These are maintained by the community and create the regional websites shown above.
