*Dear Alfredo and Humberto,*

*ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that Asociación de Usuarios Digitales del Ecuador 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 At-Large introductory page <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2265510> 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 At-Large Policy Development Activity <https://community.icann.org/x/bwFO> , find out more about the Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Regional+At-Large+Organisations>, and about At-Large Working Groups <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Working+Groups> .

*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:*

*ICANN website:** The ICANN website <https://www.icann.org/> is where all announcements <https://www.icann.org/news> are posted, and where you can find practical information about ICANN Public meetings <http://meetings.icann.org/> .*

So please don¹t hesitate to send At-Large Staff your Skype ID and we¹ll gladly add you to the relevant chats. Please click here <http://www.skype.com/en/> if you don¹t have a Skype account. It¹s free and staff are available to help if you run into any trouble.*

*Facebook**: The At-Large community has its own Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/icann.atlarge?fref=ts> . It¹s useful to keep up with announcements and helpful information*

*Twitter**: Members of At-Large tweet extensively and are particularly active during ICANN Public meetings. Follow At-Large on Twitter <https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge?lang=fr%3E> !*
