Dear Wanda and Juan, ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that ISOC RD has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in LACRALO and ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues. The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALSes, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. It¹s very important to keep the members of your organization informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest. Here are a few of the tools members of At-Large find useful: The At-Large wiki space is where you can find most of the relevant information: The <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2265510> At-Large introductory page help you navigate through the wiki contents.

This will ensure you never miss a meeting!
From any chosen page in the At-Large wiki, you can find your bearings easily by navigating via the purple box at the top left hand corner of the page. It
is very convenient to be able to consult the latest <https://community.icann.org/x/bwFO> At-Large Policy Development Activity , find out more about the <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Regional+At-Large+Organisations
