Dear Liz and Mwendwa,
ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that has been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's
interest in involving individual users in Kenyan ICT Action Network 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:
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:
At-Large Mailing Lists. There are many At-Large email lists, for each region, you can sign up to them
and manage your subscriptions at:
http://atlarge-lists.icann. org/mailman/listinfo .
The primary and secondary points of contact you have identified in the application form will automatically be added to your region's list just for accredited ALSes to discuss regional issues and to the mailing
list for Staff announcements
(only Staff can post messages to that list); you are invited to join others as you wish.
ALAC website. The ALAC website is
a good source for ICANN news and information of interest to individual Internet users. We encourage you to provide your members with a link. The ALAC relies on volunteers to translate information into multiple languages. Translations of documents on the
website are welcome and should be sent to At-Large staff.
Skype chat: At-Large community members and staff use Skype group chats extensively. A group chat exists
for most Working Groups and RALOs. So please don¹t hesitate to send At-Large Staff your Skype ID and we¹ll gladly add you to the relevant chats. Please click here 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 . 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 !
We will forward the At-Large Beginners’ guide shortly, as it is in the process of being updated. In the meantime, please refer to [any recent recording of a welcome
event] . You may also like to refer to (RALO Outreach Strategic Plan] for further engagement opportunities.
We look forward to working with you and your organization's members to advance individual Internet users' interests within ICANN. If you have any questions, or
need additional information, please contact us at staff@atlarge.icann.org.
Sincerely,
The At-Large Advisory Committee
