Dear Maureen,

I am thrilled to welcome you and the Cook Islands Internet Action Group
to the ICANN At-Large community!

I hope that you and/or your point of contact will find the time to join
mailing lists and working groups, both at worldwide level but also
within your RALO. I realise that the jungle of acronyms, processes and
sub-groups may at first be disconcerting. We have all been through this,
and I gather that you have experienced this first-hand as a fellow in
Cartagena!

If you have any question about any aspect of At-Large, ALAC, and indeed
ICANN too, please do not hesitate to ask. I am looking forward to see
you and your At-Large Structure (ALS) thrive in this environment and
contribute the input of your community in the ICANN bottom-up model.

Warmest regards,

Olivier Crépin-Leblond
ALAC Chair

> involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you
> and your colleagues.
>
> The purpose of ALS certification is to recognize that your organization
> meets the necessary criteria to involve individual Internet users at the
> local or issue level in ICANN activities, and that your organization will
> support its individual members' informed participation in ICANN efforts that
> affect end-users.
>
> The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your
> organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input
> on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated.
>
> We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its
> members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN
> policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest:
>
> - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to
> staff at atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or
> two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and
> correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large. If this changes, please let us
> know.

> - At Large Mailing Lists. There are many At Large email lists, for each
> region; you can signup for them and manage your subscriptions at:
> http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo   . The points of contact
> you identify will automatically be added to your region¹s 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.
>
> - ALS information.  Information about your organization will be shared with
> the At-Large community to enable individuals interested in your group's
> activities to contact you, and to encourage cooperation with other groups
> interested in ICANN activities in your geographic region. Please complete

> volunteers to translate information into multiple languages. Translations of
> documents on the website are welcome and should be sent to
> staff at atlarge.icann.org .
>
> -  At-Large Regional Websites. Regional wiki webpages also have been created
> to distribute information (including in local languages) on activities,
