Dear David and John, ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that ISOC Greater Washington DC Chapter has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS).

NARALO Monthly Meeting
by Judith Hellerstein March 1, 2016

March 1, 2016

HI All, Just a heads up that we will not be having our monthly meeting at our usual time of the Second Monday in March because we will be having a Face-Face meeting at Marakech. Unfortunately we were given a time slot that does not work well for remote participation as our meeting will be held on Tuesday March 8 at 6am Eastern, 3am Pacific and 11am Marrakech time. In the future we will work to get a time that would work better for remote participation but as the schedules were really crazy at this meeting this is the best we could get. If we do not see you in Marrakech we will understand if people can not make our call in March and we look forward to seeing you in April 2016 On another note, we were just informed that because the ARIN meeting is happening in the Caribbean we can not use CROPP for it and so we now have an extra CROPP trip left. Please let Glenn or I know if there is a conference that would be particularly good for outreach and to recruit new ALSes. Only requirements is that 1) it needs to be before June 30 and 2) It needs to be at least 8 weeks out to get through the processing and approvals required. Trips are for 2 nights and 3 days and include airfare, hotels, and conference registration. Look forward to seeing some of you in Marrakech. Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Glenn Best, Judith -- _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail: Judith(a)jhellerstein.com Website: www.jhellerstein.com Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide
