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

Hi Folks We tried to secure a fellowship for Leah or Le Marie via ARIN without success and we are looking at the next ARIN meeting in Dallas ARIN 38 Dallas, TX 20 - 21 October 2016 We hope Leah or Le Marie can make those dates. We still have one spot avaiable for a CROPP trip that must be done prior to the end of June. The application must be 8 weeks in advance of the event to allow time for travel folks to arrange the trip. Please bring your suggestions to our next meeting Thanks Thanks Glenn Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

It's Here! Brand New Website of the At-Large Community Launched!!!
by ICANN At-Large Staff Feb. 24, 2016

Feb. 24, 2016

Dear All, We are very pleased to announce the launch of the brand new website of the ICANN At-Large Community available at: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/>! Over the past year, the At-Large Community and ICANN Staff have provided dedicated efforts to create a more engaging website. The goal is to make the site an effective engagement tool and a one-stop shop for finding: * ALAC policy advice<https://atlarge.icann.org/policy-summary> * News<https://atlarge.icann.org/news> * Meetings and Events<https://atlarge.icann.org/calendar> * Activities of the ALAC<https://atlarge.icann.org/alac>, RALOs<https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos> and ALSes<https://atlarge.icann.org/alses>, and * ways to get involved<https://atlarge.icann.org/get-involved> in the At-Large community This community-driven effort has resulted in a big step forward for At-Large with this official release of the new website! Post launch, we expect our website to continue to evolve with new content that can be easily created and updated. Other features that we anticipate to evolve include: * ALS Applications - New submission process for organizations that apply to become ALSes * Translations - Translations for additional static labels and content, public comment information from icann.org, and curated content submitted by the At-Large Community * Accessibility - Continued progress towards WCAG Level AA certification<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/>, relabeling of images with alternative text, and KIFs<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53775155/kif-protocol.pdf?…> * Content Templates - Additional formats for content authoring via the generic content template Please expect to see updates on a bi-weekly basis with light feature releases every quarter. The next update will be in June 2016. The previous old site will be unpublished and archived at legacy-atlarge.icann.org. We hope you enjoy using the new website and find that it has an updated look and easy to access information. We would also like to thank our At-Large Community, especially the At-Large Website Revamp Taskforce<https://atlarge.icann.org/working_groups/website-revamp>, as well as our ICANN IT team and offshore developers who gave their time, energy, and support to make the new website live!

Reminder--Seeking Regional Advice for a New ALS
by Judith Hellerstein Feb. 18, 2016

Feb. 18, 2016

Hi ALSes, Just a reminder to please let us in NARALO Leadership know if you support the entrance of the Greater Washington DC ISOC chapter as a new ALS in NARALO. We have gotten several emails from ALSes of Support but we do need to hear from all of you. Please let us know what is your feeling. Do you support this new ALS? Do you feel you do not have enough info to vote and would like more or do you wish to abstain from the process? If you oppose the entrance of this ALS we also want to know that. We look forward to hearing from you. We are seeking Regional Advice for a new ALS, The Great Washington DC Internet Society has applied to be an ALS in NARALO. I am sending their application to you along with an addendum for regional advice. My hope is always that all new ALSes that join NARALO will become actively involved and join several working groups and committees. Please do let me know by the COB Feb 19 if you support having this group join as an ALS member. When you write me, please state the ALS you are representing to we can have an accurate count. I look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Judith Hellerstein NARALO Secretary -- _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail:Judith@jhellerstein.com Website:www.jhellerstein.com Linked In:www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide
