Dear Ms. Yuliya Morenets: ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that TaC – Together Against Cybercrime 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.

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 (only Staff can post messages to that list); 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.

WG: [ALAC-Internal] Informal exchange of views with the Board: suggested memo.
by Wolf Ludwig Oct. 18, 2011

Oct. 18, 2011

Dear all, first of all, I would like to thank Jean-Jacques for this excellent idea and input regarding the upcoming Dakar meeting with the ICANN Board. Let me suggest to add this initiative (and text below for review) to our today's call agenda under point 4. Dakar preparations. Hope to hear many of you at our call later today!

Re: [EURO-Discuss] [ALAC] Election Call for ALAC Liaisons to serve from October 2011 to ICANN AGM 2012
by Wolf Ludwig Oct. 16, 2011

Oct. 16, 2011

Dear all, as Olivier has indicated below, Patrick Vande Walle - the current SSAC liaison - unfortunately does not wish to be nominated for reappointment in this position. At this point, I would like to dearly thank Patrick for all his long-lasting commitment and all the excellent work he has done to serve our community in different functions and ICANN in general! He is one of EURALO’s outstanding assets and his expertise was always much appreciated. For the open ALAC - SSAC liaison to be filled I would like to nominate Lutz Donnerhacke who is another proven expert in security issues from EURALO and an active member of our community. And I am sure Lutz will represent ALAC appropriately in this function. Thanks for your consideration and kind regards, Wolf Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond sent Wed, 12 Oct 2011 01:17: >** > >*Election Call for ALAC Liaisons to serve from October 2011 to ICANN AGM >2012* > >Dear All, > >The ALAC Liaison positions, and those currently serving in the role >(until the ICANN AGM in Dakar) are listed below.
