Dear Cristina and Miguel, ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that (338) Instituto para el Desarrollo Humano, Inc.has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS).

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. It’s 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>.

Fourth APRALO Policy Forum Fireside Chat: "Let’s Talk About Internet Fragmentation” Thursday, 07 December 2023 at 06:00 UTC PLEASE REGISTER TO JOIN AND SHARE THIS INVITATION WITH ALL! Zoom Registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqf--tqzwvHNA-tylUrpJvFNqqK3sDpflV English only If you have any, please let us have your questions on this topic in advance. You can submit them by emailing staff or posting them as comments here: https://community.icann.org/x/pQK1E . Otherwise, just come along and ask your questions during the event. Dear All, You are invited to participate the fourth APRALO Policy Forum Fireside Chat: "Let's Talk About Internet Fragmentation" on Thursday, 07 December 2023 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Justine Chew, APRALO Policy Forum, will be chatting with her guest, Jia-Rong Low, ICANN Vice President, Stakeholder Engagement and Managing Director - Asia Pacific. Join us to learn about how Internet Fragmentation impacts us as Internet end-users, and share your points of view on this topic with us then. Internet Fragmentation continues to be a significant concern within Internet Governance spaces and a hot topic of discourse around the world. In Oct 2023, the Internet Governance community turned up in force in Japan for IGF 2023 Kyoto hosted by the United Nations, to discuss the topic through one of 8 themes: "Avoiding Internet Fragmentation." Digwatch<https://dig.watch/>, wrote in its report on IGF 2023, that, "Internet fragmentation would pose significant challenges to the global and interconnected nature of the internet. It would hinder communication, stifle innovation, and undermine the intended functioning of the internet", citing geopolitical tensions, misinformation, and digital protectionism as escalating threats pressuring the reshaping internet governance, potentially compromising the openness of the Internet. * What does Internet Fragmentation mean and how does it impact individual end-users? * What are some of the dimensions of fragmentation and who are some of the key infrastructural players in those dimensions? * What role does ICANN have or wish to have, as a multi-stakeholder model, in addressing Internet Fragmentation risks, given its "One World, One Internet" goal, and how can the At-Large Community support ICANN's endeavour? ZOOM Registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqf--tqzwvHNA-tylUrpJvFNqqK3sDpflV (you MUST register to join!) *** After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the meeting.*** And if you have any, please let us have your questions for our guest speaker on this topic ahead of the chat, you can submit them by emailing staff or posting them as comments here: https://community.icann.org/x/hQQVD. Otherwise, just come along and ask your questions during the event.

WSIS+20 input possibilities
by Marita Moll Nov. 20, 2023

Nov. 20, 2023

Hello all. The WSIS+20 process which is currently underway will be reviewing, among others, the decisions made back in 2003 and 2005 which eventually led to the formation of the IGF and official recognition of the value of the multistakeholder process in internet governance. Important as it is to interact with this highly structured multilateral process, there are only a few accessible ways of doing so. You are encouraged to complete the official submission form (see link below) where individuals and organizations can register their views on various topics under discussion - including internet governance. Deadline for submission is Jan. 31. ____________________________________________________ The WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event <http://url6404.itu.int/ls/click?upn=vaC6TdfXfsrjStjBbmdb4Q31ssyqBGEy9Ba5PoU…>, co-organized with UNESCO, UNDP and UNCTAD and co-hosted by ITU and the Swiss Confederation, will serve as a platform to review the progress, achievements, challenges, and opportunities of the WSIS follow-up process since the two phases of the Summit – Geneva in 2003 and Tunis in 2005. The event will take place from 27 to 31 May 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland. The Open Consultation Process (OCP) <http://url6404.itu.int/ls/click?upn=vaC6TdfXfsrjStjBbmdb4Q31ssyqBGEy9Ba5PoU…>is an open and inclusive consultation with WSIS stakeholders to prepare for the event, including developing the event programme, identifying gaps in the implementation of the Geneva Plan of Action and the WSIS Action Lines, and contributing to the WSIS+20 review process. All stakeholders are encouraged to submit inputs through the official submission form <http://url6404.itu.int/ls/click?upn=vaC6TdfXfsrjStjBbmdb4Q31ssyqBGEy9Ba5PoU…>. _______________________________________________________ Marita Moll Telecommunities Canada
