Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 06:58:45 +0000 Dear At Large staff and ALAC community members, Thank you for certifying the Armenian Association for the Disabled “PYUNIC” as a new ALS. This is a new step forward for the organization itself. Being as an individual member both in APRALO and EURALO for several years, I hope that now I can bring to this community even more, especially the voices of disabled internet users, for whom just getting online is already a struggle. I would like to thank Olivier, Cheryl, Wolf, Oksana, the staff and many, many people in this community, who helped me during past years to become a member of such a wonderful family and and for your continuous support. I will continue for sure to be an active individual member within EURALO as well, thus you have no other choice, but keep me:))) Once again, thank you very much and looking forward to new achievements for the internet users community.

Dear Siranush, I am delighted to welcome you and the Armenian Association for the Disabled “PYUNIC” as an At-Large Structure (ALS) having joined the At-Large community. I know that I have already told you in the past, but as a reminder, I hope that you and/or your point of contact will find the time to join mailing lists and working groups, both at worldwide level but also within your RALO. There are many of them, listed on: https://community.icann.org/x/loIi May I also refer you to the At-Large community Web site wiki, which contains many of our workspaces: https://community.icann.org/x/ppEi As well as the At-Large policy development page: https://community.icann.org/x/bwFO As you can see, there are plenty of ways to be active! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me or staff@atlarge.icann.org Warmest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond ALAC Chair On 11/02/2013 15:33, ICANN At-Large Staff wrote: Dear Siranush: ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that (174) Armenian Association for the Disabled “PYUNIC” 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@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 sign up 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 (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. Please complete and email the form at the bottom of this note to staff@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@atlarge.icann.org. - At-Large Regional Websites. Regional wiki 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 maintained by the community. They are: African Region: www.afralo.org Asia/Australia/Pacific Region: www.apralo.org European Region: www.euralo.org Latin America/Caribbean Region: www.lacralo.org North American Region: www.naralo.org We have included an ALS Starter Kit that includes key information on ALAC and At-Large communication tools. We have also included the Beginners Guide to Participating in At-Large which explains the organization of the At-Large community and how to participate in its activities. We look forward to working with you and your organization's members to advance individual Internet users' interests within ICANN. If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact us at staff@atlarge.icann.org.
